Emerald Necklace

The Emerald Necklace is a chain of parks and green spaces in Boston, Massachusetts, designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted in the 19th century. It connects several parks, including Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the Arnold Arboretum, creating a scenic and recreational corridor for residents and visitors. The design promotes ecological health and enhances urban living by providing accessible nature within the city. Its name reflects its appearance as a green "necklace" of parks, connecting different neighborhoods and offering a place for leisure, walking, and community activities.
