Celebrating the Year of the Snake

If you visit The Greenway over the next few weeks there are several family-friendly community events on the calendar to mark the Year of the Snake! To read the full list of upcoming events, check out the Conservancy's recent blog post.

While exploring these free community events, don’t forget to take advantage of The Greenway’s public parks abutting Chinatown! Auntie Kay and Uncle Frank Chin Park offers an interactive children’s playscape you can enjoy with friends and family. You can also pause between events at The Greenway’s Mary Soo Hoo Park near the Chinatown Gate at the intersection of John F. Fitzgerald Surface Road and Beach Street. We hope to see you there!
