The Emerald Necklace in Boston was designed by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
Olmsted, a visionary figure, conceived this inviting green space more than 100 years ago with the clear intention of seamlessly connecting people and nature. Stretching across significant portions of Boston, from the historic Back Bay to Dorchester, the Emerald Necklace stands as a testament to his pioneering work in urban landscape design. His design created a vital chain of parks and waterways, fulfilling his vision of bringing natural beauty and recreational opportunities directly into the urban fabric of the city.
