Family Wellness Walk

The Arnold Arboretum hosts a Family Wellness Walk on Saturday, December 19, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The walk is free with registration and is aimed at families with school-age children. Helen Murphy, a licensed clinical social worker, leads a slow route of about one mile with stops to look at plants and try wellness exercises.

Walkers meet in front of the Hunnewell Building at 125 Arborway in Jamaica Plain. The arboretum says the Orange Line’s Forest Hills station is about a 12-minute walk from the Arborway Gate, and street parking is available on the Arborway. The program goes ahead in rain but may be canceled for snow or severe weather.
