Boston's Emerald Necklace

"Great walk, great bunch of guys! Joel did a phenomenal job."

Sunny 4.5 mile walk from Jamaica Pond to The Fens, Boston! Conversation flowed along the Muddy River (which ultimately goes into the Charles River). The seven of us got a first-hand look at lake, stream and pond environments in the City, a unique park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and called Boston’s Emerald Necklace.

Afterwards, near Fenway Park, we had delicious Thai food.

Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and called Boston’s Emerald Necklace, the  mile route water travels from Jamaica Pond to the Charles River.

Trip ends around 1:00 p.m. at the Fens Victory Gardens near the intersection of Boylston Street and Massachusetts Avenue, close to Green Line and Bus services. Optional inexpensive lunch afterwards in the general neighborhood.

Bring water and comfortable walking shoes.
