Synopsis
Report by Boston Dept. of Parks. The Second Report of the Board of Commissioners of the Department of Parks for the City of Boston, 1876, documents the city’s early efforts to plan and implement a comprehensive system of urban and suburban parks. The Report details the goals and criteria for selecting park lands, including accessibility, economic feasibility, adaptability to topography, and sanitary benefits. It describes an urban park system featuring Charles River Embankment, Back Bay Park, Parker Hill Park, and South Bay Park, along with suburban parks like Brighton, Jamaica, and West Roxbury Parks, as well as park-ways to connect them. Financial considerations cover park loans, betterments, and expected tax impacts, with Appendices on expenditures and a draft act for Charles River Flats. The document emphasizes public health, enhanced air quality, and the long-term economic value of parks, and notes collaboration with the landscape designer Olmsted. It expresses optimism about Boston’s growth and the role of parks in shaping city life.
