What People Are Saying About Back Bay Fens

In Short – Beautiful plants and trees liven its landscape year round and in May, flowering dogwoods offer truly spectacular scenery. The park also features a splendid rose garden enclosed by a hemlock hedge. Thousands of colorful roses are clustered along the garden's borders. Colorful roses climb on arches scattered around the circular pathways, which lead to an elegant fountain in the middle. The visual and aromatic splendor will make your visit here worthwhile.

And, they have these cute public gardens where individuals do their own thing.
The Details on Back Bay Fens
The Extras:
If birdwatching is too mellow, reserve one of the ball fields for an afternoon game (you can do it through the Boston Park Department) or take a run along the jogging circuit.
Know Before You Go:
For an urban park, the Fens has an unusual range of bird species. Go on a summer afternoon and you may see a Baltimore oriole, a purple finch or a snowy egret.
