Review & FAQ:

Blackstone Square is a charming 2.44-acre public park within Boston's Emerald Necklace, overseen by the National Park Service's Land and Water Conservation Fund in conjunction with nearby Franklin Square. The park, which was opened to the public in 1855 in Boston's South End, was originally designed by landscape architect Charles Bullfinch and redeveloped by the Olmsted Brothers in 1913. A central fountain at both parks showcases fish and seashell motifs, surrounded by plantings of sugar maple, silver linden, and white oak trees. Connecting pathways adjoin both parks, which are surrounded by iron fences. Picnics are popular at both parks, which also serve as popular neighborhood dog walking and play spots.
