Mayor Wu’s Neighborhood Coffee Hours offer a unique opportunity to speak directly with the Mayor and staff from City departments about City services and resident concerns. Through personal conversations, and a suggestion box at each site, Mayor Wu looks forward to hearing how the City of Boston can improve parks, public areas, and City services.

This year’s Back Bay Coffee Hour at Copley Square Park will also serve as a ribbon-cutting celebration marking the completion of the park’s comprehensive renovation. The climate-resilient transformation delivers improved accessibility, an expanded tree canopy, and upgraded infrastructure to better support both everyday use and signature civic events.
