Franklin Park (Boston)
Franklin Park, a partially wooded parkland in the Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, and Dorchester neighborhoods of Boston, Massachusetts, is maintained by the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department. It is Boston's biggest park and the site of Franklin Park Zoo.
==General description==
Considered a country park when it was formed in the 19th century, Franklin Park is the largest and last component of the Emerald Necklace created by Frederick Law Olmsted. Although often neglected in the past, it is considered the "crown jewel" of Olmsted's work in Greater Boston.〔(Emerald Necklace Conservancy )〕〔 (Franklin Park Coalition )〕
Franklin Park, previously known as West Roxbury Park, was renamed in honor of Boston born patriot Benjamin Franklin, who documented in his will that he wished for a portion of his estate to be given to a worthy cause. The park brings together rural scenery, a woodland preserve, and areas for active recreation and sports. Franklin Park also has six miles (10 km) of roads and fifteen miles (24 km) of pedestrian and bridle paths to explore.〔〔In its early stages, Franklin Park was known as "West Roxbury Park" as this area was considered West Roxbury rather than Jamaica Plain and Roxbury, as it is today. ("Franklin Park Notes" by Richard Health, January 22, 1981 edition of ''Jamaica Plain Citizen'')〕
Much of Franklin Park is scenic and devoted to the general use and enjoyment of the public. Scarboro Pond and Ellicott Arch are popular sites within the park, as are the large forested areas. The park also has picnic areas, stone bridges, outcroppings of Roxbury Puddingstone, and old stone ruins, specifically the Long Crouch Woods of Roxbury—also known as "the Bear Dens."〔〔(Franklin Park: Heart of Boston )〕〔(Database of Greenspaces and Neighborhoods in the heart of Boston )〕
