A shared palette of plants, pavement, and lighting design unify four independent parcels in the Wharf District Parks, a cornerstone of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. Seeded with hundreds of trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcover, these parks offer visitors and residents many civic and private opportunities. Some of the parks provide an open setting suitable for large-scale gatherings and grand fountains while others offer more intimate design. Many of these parks are planted amid the narrow streets where old Boston’s seafaring and commercial activity flowed and much of modern Boston’s business is transacted today. The Greenway is managed by the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, Inc.. The Conservancy sponsored programs and activities in the Wharf District Parks take advantage of the parks’ open settings for outdoor concerts, walks, and other large-scale gatherings. The historical markers, public art, large-scale fountain, and other areas of interest will become regular stops on Greenway tours. The thousands of caregivers recognized in the may someday become a tourist attraction.
