All Boston youth and families are invited to join us for a family-friendly bike party to celebrate the opening of Bike Town at Moakley Park, a new place in Boston where kids can practice riding, rolling, and walking in a fun and safe environment. The celebration will take place at Moakley Park across Day Blvd from the Carson Beach Bath House and feature:

  • A short ribbon-cutting ceremony
  • Free bike and helmet rentals for kids

This event is a collaboration between the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, the Mayor's Office of Early Childhood Education, and the Boston Parks Department.

ABOUT BIKE TOWN

Biking helps kids explore their neighborhood, have fun, and grow. In an effort to make Boston a more family-friendly city and increase road safety for children, the City of Boston is creating fun and safe places where kids can develop their bike riding skills and road safety awareness. Bike Town is a small-sized street network, sometimes called a “traffic garden”, where kids can learn and practice riding bikes in a safe, car-free and delightful environment. These miniature streets can help:

  • Teach children essential bike-riding skills to promote active and safe transportation
  • Educate community members, especially children, about road safety practices
  • Increase children’s confidence in their ability to safely navigate city streets

If you are aged 14 or 15 when you start work this summer, you will need a Health Certificate to apply for your Work Permit, one of the required onboarding documents for any job. 

To help Boston Public Schools (BPS) students fulfill the Health Certificate requirement, BPS is offering Saturday clinics (6/8, 6/15, and 6/22) for its students who have not received a physical in the last 12 months, do not go to a school with a school-based health center*, and could not schedule a physical with a PCP before the summer.

How to attend the clinic and get your appointment time: Complete a sign-up form to request for an appointment. Please note that the time of the clinic is not actually the 9-10am indicated above. A BPS team member will review your form submission and confirm your attendance and your appointment time within 48 hours of receiving your form submission

Sign-Up Form

* If you are a BPS student in need of a physical and you go to a school with a school-based health center, please reach out to the health center to schedule an appointment there. 

** If you are a BPS student and have received a physical in the last 12 months but have questions on how to fulfill the Health Certificate requirement, please reach out to your guidance counselor, family liaison, PIC career specialist, school nurse, or the City of Boston Office of Youth Employment & Opportunity
