The Leo M. Birmingham Parkway is a prominent road located in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston. It runs parallel to the Charles River, providing a vital connection between Western Avenue and Soldiers Field Road. The parkway, named after Leo M. Birmingham, a Boston politician and public servant, serves as a corridor for both local traffic and commuters. The area surrounding the parkway is a mix of residential buildings, commercial developments, and recreational spaces, making it an essential part of the neighborhood's infrastructure. The Parkway is currently being redesigned and refreshed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. 

Leo M. Birmingham was a state representative from the Brighton section of Boston from 1925 to 1936 and was Democratic House Floor Leader of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1929 to 1934. Shortly after his death in 1936, the House voted to rename Soldier’s Field Road Extension as the Leo M. Birmingham Parkway. It was dedicated in 1941.
