Designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Boston's chain of six parks is known as the Emerald Necklace. This urban oasis includes green, open spaces, rivers and ponds, and a wealth of diversity of trees, shrubs, flowers, and wildlife habitat. The Back Bay Fens, Riverway, Olmsted Park, Jamaica Park, Arnold Arboretum and Franklin Park stretch five miles from the Charles River to Dorchester and are linked up to create this 1,000 acres of beautiful parkland.
