City of Boston Parks Department

The Parks and Recreation Department of Boston is dedicated to creating and maintaining clean, green, safe, and accessible open spaces across more than 2,300 acres of parkland. This includes a diverse range of properties such as the Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the Olmsted-designed Emerald Necklace parks system, which feature walking trails, playgrounds, recreational courts, and natural areas.

In addition to managing urban parks, the department oversees 29 urban wilds, four high school athletic fields, and two public golf courses, while also caring for over 40,000 public street trees. Their commitment to community engagement is evident through various programs and events designed to promote outdoor activities and enhance public enjoyment of the city's green spaces.
