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.
