The Fenway

The Fenway

The Fenway refers to either a thoroughfare or an area within Boston, Massachusetts. "Fenway" (without "the") can apply to either but may also refer to Fenway Park. Like many terms germane to a particular urban area, "The Fenway" and "Fenway" are usually understood precisely in context by locals but may seem ambiguous to those less familiar with the area.

The region of Boston known as the Fenway is discussed in the Fenway-Kenmore article.

The Parkway

The thoroughfare known as "The Fenway" is a one-way, two-lane parkway that runs along the southern and eastern edges of the Back Bay Fens. As part of the Emerald Necklace park system mainly designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Fens and The Fenway connect the Commonwealth Ave Mall to The Riverway. It starts at the intersection of Brookline Avenue and The Riverway, heading southeast past Emmanuel College, Simmons College, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. It then turns northeast, passing the Museum of Fine Arts and parts of Northeastern University, Berklee College of Music, and the Boston Conservatory, ending at Boylston Street.

The Muddy River continues in a stone-paved channel surrounded by a narrow strip of parklands, toward its connection with the Charles River. In a series of stone bridges and tunnels, it passes under Boylston Street, Massachusetts Turnpike, Commonwealth Avenue, Storrow Drive, and a series of elevated connecting ramps.
