OPEN SPACES Harvard open space in Allston encompasses the playing fields within the Soldiers Field Athletic Complex as well as the tree-lined walkways and open grassy courtyards of the Harvard Business School. The heart of campus connects to the Charles River and parklands, owned and managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. This network of open space is a critical link between the Harvard University campus and the larger metropolitan area. There is limited pedestrian access from North Allston across Soldiers Field Road to the riverfront parks. Other open space areas are under the jurisdiction of the City of Boston and include Smith Field, Portsmouth Street Playground, Hooker-Sorrento Playground and Ray Mellone Park.RIVERFRONT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE HARVARD LANDSCAPE HARVARD ATHLETICS RIVER CONNECTIONS INSTITUTIONAL MASTER PLAN (IMP) BOUNDARY

PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATIONThe figure illustrates the primary pedestrian network connecting Harvard in Allston and Cambridge. Much of Harvards non-institutional property in North Allston was formerly commercial and industrial land, and is currently fenced and inaccessible. Projects to be completed within the next ten- years will begin the transformation of this area into an accessible pedestrian-friendly environment, with expanded open space and enhanced permeability, as described in the Long-Term Vision.
