The city's best-known green space boasts a rich history and a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

In Short
This 50-acre span of trees, walking paths and athletic facilities is the cornerstone of Boston's Emerald Necklace--a series of tree-lined parks snaking throughout the city. Catch the occasional free concert at the Parkman Bandstand, or visit the monument to the African-American Civil War unit made famous in the movie "Glory." Believed to have opened in 1634, this is considered to be the oldest city park in the U.S.

great green space
by jpanderson_citysearch at Citysearch
boston's version of central park, this is a great green space to wander around with your sweetie or sit and have a picnic. plus, it's in the heart of boston; you can get off the t at park street and hop on the freedom trail, go to faneuil hall, or grab a bite or a beer at one of the nearby restaurants.
