Riverway

The Riverway is a parkway in Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. He is a part of the system of the Emerald Necklace, designed in the 1890s by Frederick Law Olmsted and in the several parks and parkways are interconnected.

The Riverway begins at Boston Landmark Center in the Back Bay Fens and follows the course of the Muddy River south to Olmsted Park. The road and the affiliated Park form the western boundary of the adjacent Boston Brookline. Both the street and the park be used willingly and often by residents of both cities.

To build up the street wetlands in Parkland were converted. Olmsted also led to the river and then formed the banks, with which he created a connection to the Emerald Necklace. The steep banks overgrown with woods and corners still retain a rural feel, so that today's busy roads can be hidden. The Muddy River winds along internationally known medical, cultural and educational facilities to the Charles River. Along the route there is a historic bridle path, some of the famous bridges of Olmsted and a stone pavilion at the Chapel Street Bridge. The Riverway is therefore an alternative route to the busy pedestrian areas along Brookline Avenue and the adjacent streets, and also just a place to relax.
