Before you go
Roxbury is much larger than this route. Treat this as an introduction to one corridor, with more local walks to come.
These are desk-researched route ideas, not field-tested turn-by-turn or accessibility guides. Use the walking map, follow signs and crossings, and check current conditions and opening hours.
