The City of Boston has announced the partial reopening of Copley Square Park on January 1, 2025, following an extensive renovation that began in July 2023. This $18. 9 million project targets enhancements in accessibility and functionality, making the park more welcoming to the community and visitors alike. The northeast triangle of the park, located between Trinity Church and Boylston Street, will be the first area to reopen, featuring a renovated fountain and an expanded tree canopy with shaded seating. Mayor Michelle Wu emphasized the park's significance as a vibrant space in the city, eagerly anticipating the community's return to this historic site.

Additional areas, including the Plaza and Raised Grove, are set to reopen in early 2025, with full project completion expected by Spring 2025, just after the Boston Marathon. The renovation reflects community input, aiming to create flexible event spaces for various activities. Recent progress includes the installation of new pathways and furnishings, with beloved statues returning to their original spots. Updates and further information can be found on the Boston Parks and Recreation Department's website.
