Meet at 9:30, depart by 10.

The walk route commences at Battleship Cove, home to the world's largest collection of World War II naval ships, including the Battleship USS Massachusetts, affectionately known as "Big Mamie" (fee to tour museum). The route then proceeds to the Columbia Street Cultural District, an ethnic Portuguese neighborhood with cobbled streets and sidewalks, filled with enticing smells from the numerous bakeries & restaurants. Next, the walk route visits Kennedy Park, the first of two Frederick Law Olmsted designed parks on the route. Enjoy spectacular water views before continuing to the downtown area passing Saint Anne's Church, a large Gothic building constructed by Canadian immigrants, and Lizzie Borden's house. The infamous Borden ax murders that took place in 1892 remain one of America's great unsolved crimes. The route also explores the second Olmsted designed park, North Park; enters several historic neighborhoods; visits Veterans Memorial Bicentennial Park with impressive tributes including an Iwo Jima sculpture & 80% replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall; and returns via a boardwalk which hugs the Taunton River to Heritage State Park. Note: 6km route returns to the finish after visiting the downtown area
