Underground at Ink Block is an outdoor park and street-art gallery at 90 Traveler St in Boston. Its murals cover concrete walls beneath the interstate, turning a former parking lot into an 8-acre public space. Walk the paths to find work by local and national artists, including pieces tucked beneath overpasses. The park also has a dog area, sports courts and fitness classes, so it suits a longer wander as well as a quick look at the art.
From parking lot to public art
The site beneath the interstate was once an abandoned parking lot. It has since become an 8-acre park and art space, with about 150,000 square feet of concrete wall transformed by murals. The project brought work by a dozen local and national artists to the area.
The art is spread across the park rather than gathered in one gallery. Some pieces are tucked beneath overpasses, and their entrances or routes can be easy to miss. Take time to look around the different corners and follow signs where available.
More than murals
Walking paths run through the park, alongside a dog area and places for sports, including basketball, volleyball and tennis courts. Fitness classes and events also take place here. The park has picnic tables, a barbecue grill, swings and slides, as well as public restrooms.
The space is open daily from early morning until late evening. It has accessible entrances and parking, and dogs are allowed.
