Transportation to the Boathouse
We encourage students to travel together as a team using public transportation.
Currently, there are two Commuter Rail trains traveling at 4:11 and 4:21 from Lansdowne Station (0.8 mi from BLS), both of which will get rowers to the Boathouse (0.8 mi from Boston Landing Station) before 4:45pm.
Additionally, rowers who prefer not to walk to Lansdowne Station can take the 19 Bus to Kenmore Square and walk from there. The bus picks up in front of BLS at 3:50pm.
Transportation from the Boathouse
Practice ends at 7:30pm. Rowers will wait in the Artesani Playground parking lot for pick-up. Families are encouraged to carpool, and a carpool map will be sent out with interested rowers’ contact information at the start of each season.
