Positioned right on the scenic Charles River, this space may include the party tent, our docks, and the pavilion between boathouses. Community Rowing Inc. was founded in 1985 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the belief that the sport of rowing provides unique opportunities to promote personal and community growth through teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness. By hosting your private event at Community Rowing, you're supporting CRI’s mission. The revenue from private events supports our outreach efforts with Boston Public School students, active duty and veterans, and para athletes—all of whom receive access to programs at no cost or reduced cost.
