Larz Anderson Park is a wooded, landscaped, and waterscaped parkland in Brookline, Massachusetts that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The southwest corner of the park is in Boston.〔〔Compare USGS topo with (Walking tour guide )〕 The park contains playing fields, picnic areas, gardens, waterways, an ice skating rink, and two sites of special interest: *Larz Anderson Auto Museum, the oldest automobile collection in the United States〔(Larz Anderson Auto Museum )〕 *Putterham School, a one-room schoolhouse from colonial times〔(Brookline Historical Society )〕 As Larz Anderson Park is about a half-mile away from Jamaica Pond it might also be considered a ''de facto'' extension of Boston's Emerald Necklace into the town of Brookline. ==Features== Set amidst a landscape of ponds and trees are athletic fields, historic buildings and a skating rink. The Boston skyline can be seen from atop the main ridge and the open, rolling hills make the park one of the best kite-flying spots in the area. For a small fee, Brookline grants permits for the use of picnic equipment including a charcoal grill and table for up to twelve guests.〔(Picnic at Larz Anderson Park )〕 The cavernous Carriage House houses the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. A self-guided walking tour brings visitors past museum, the Putterham School, the water garden, Chinese garden, Japanese garden, Italian garden and bowling green. The Jack Kirrane Ice Skating Rink, located on the site of the Andersons' Italian Garden, is named for Jack Kirrane, a Brookline native and member of the 1960 gold-medal winning United States Olympic Ice Hockey team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Larz Anderson Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
