Boston is one of the East Coast's most beautifully-landscaped cities, known for its famed 1,100-acre Emerald Necklace park system, developed by famed Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted as a master plan for green improvement of the city in the late 19th century. Dozens of public parks offer stunning waterfront views, outdoor recreational opportunities, and summer concert series and annual special events. The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway also spans more than a mile throughout the city's downtown district, connecting the path of a former freeway with fountains, lighting elements, mural and sculpture art, and ample space to sit and relax at lunch break or with friends and family during city visits.
