The Parks and Recreation Department owns 288 properties containing nearly 2,200 acres of permanently protected open space including the Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the Olmsted-designed Emerald Necklace park system. The City’s parks contain walking trails, playgrounds, recreational courts, natural areas, historic burying grounds, and much more. We also maintain 29 urban wilds, four high school athletic fields, and operate two public golf courses. In addition to the trees within our parks, we care for more than 40,000 public street trees.
