Back Bay Fens Park

Back Bay Fens Park is one of the green areas that make up the Emerald Necklace, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted to give Bostonians a ring of green areas in which to relax, walk, jog and generally enjoy nature. The Emerald Necklace runs from Boston Common to the Public Garden, passes through the Fens and finally finishes at Franklin Park. Back Bay Fens park is one of the most picturesque parks in Boston. Its uniqueness stems from the fact that it is deliberately wild. The area in which it is located, once swampy and unusable, has been transformed into a wetlands area with a pond and plenty of birds living in its trees.
