Boston Harborwalk
In addition to the thrill of Encore Boston Harbor’s vibrant casino, the resort’s stylish accommodations and many amenities, guests can also enjoy the extraordinary outdoor beauty of the six-acre Harborwalk that surrounds Encore Boston Harbor.
The Harborwalk is an ideal spot to take a scenic walk along an expansive event lawn with surrounding gardens, picnic park, viewing decks and shoreline paths––both pedestrian and bicycle––that provide access to the waterfront. Adorned with public art and seasonal flora and fauna displays, the Harborwalk also features water transportation docking facilities which connect the city of Everett to the Mystic River and Boston Harbor.
In 2015, Wynn Resorts invested 68 million dollars and more than 18 months to remediation efforts along the shoreline around Encore Boston Harbor that has not only allowed this area to reopen to the public for the first time in 100 years but has created a thriving, living shoreline and an aquatic wildlife habitat.
