Dewey Square Parks

You will find the Dewey Square Parks between Oliver Street and Summer Street and Atlantic Avenue.

These parks join the major transportation hub of South Station to the Financial District. Today the parks are spaces of gardens, lawn areas, and pathways.

Commuters and visitors to the city enjoy the changing seasonal landscape. Planted in 2008 by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society (www.masshort.org), with help from many volunteers including the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association, the gardens display an array of modern garden plants available for every home. Blooms heighten these parks in summer and enclose visitors as they relax on the lawn or pass through to escape the traffic outside. Taking a break from work or seeing the nearby sights, it’s a spot to enjoy both city life and relaxing green space.

The Conservancy is working with public agencies and people interested in plants, public programs and urban design to enhance the quiet beauty of these parks over the next few years.
