Olmsted Parks

Olmsted Parks refer to a series of landscaped public parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and his firm, emphasizing the integration of natural beauty with urban settings. Olmsted, often regarded as the father of American landscape architecture, focused on creating accessible green spaces that promote health, recreation, and community engagement. Notable examples include Central Park in New York City and the Emerald Necklace in Boston. These parks are characterized by their thoughtful design, winding paths, and diverse plantings, all aimed at providing serene environments for relaxation and social interaction amidst busy city life.
