A story on our newest zipline, which is run by the Operations Division.
Rose Kennedy Greenway officials plan to launch a 220-foot zip line through downtown starting next month, marking another bid by the nonprofit to stir up revenue but also utilize a slice of city parkland the state has long left unfinished.
Set to open early next month, the 30-foot-high, double-corded zip line will carry two riders side-by-side over a patch of the 17-acre park that runs between Clinton and North streets near Faneuil Hall.
It’s slated to run into September at $8 a ride, and while tucked alongside a ramp to an underground highway tunnel, Greenway officials say it will be “entirely contained” along a 100-yard grassy area and will not actually cross the ramp or any roads.
