Boston has 2,100 acres of parks, according to the Department of Parks and Recreation. Isn't it time you got out to enjoy them, before the winter hits? (And don't kid yourself, folks--according to the Farmer's Almanac and El Nino, our winter is going to be severe...again.)
For your entertainment, here is a map of parks, plazas, and green spaces that aren't as famously known as the Boston Common or the Public Garden. And though there are many listed here, there are just as many hidden pockets of greenery to enjoy before autumn turns them into a blaze of fiery color before they're blanketed with snow.
So grab a book, sketchpad, significant other, or your own wandering mind and get going.
This park features a play area, gardens and views of the water. In addition to a regular roster of events, it gives you a chance to rest before or after a major meal in the North End.
Come see the Labyrinth, a circular winding path paved in granite that celebrates life's journey; and the Abstract Sculpture, a split dodecahedron mounted on a reflecting pool. They reflect life's journey and the immigrant experience.
This large green space has multiple gardens, playgrounds, ball fields and memorials, plus picnic areas. Stay for the floral aroma of the Kelleher Rose Garden.
This historical, long avenue features a path through trees, grassy areas, park benches and statues. Check out the beautiful architecture on either side of you.
