Welcome to Parkman Memorial

Located at 330 Perkins Street, Boston, Massachusetts, Parkman Memorial is a cherished part of Boston's extensive network of green spaces. As a cornerstone of the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, we are committed to creating and maintaining clean, green, safe, and accessible open spaces across more than 2,300 acres of park land throughout the city.

Our department proudly oversees 217 city parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields, two golf courses, 65 squares, 17 fountains, 75 game courts, and 16 historic cemeteries, alongside urban wilds and four high school athletic fields. We are also stewards of approximately 125,000 trees, including over 35,000 street trees, ensuring that Boston remains a verdant urban oasis.

The historic Emerald Necklace, a 1,100-acre chain of nine parks linked by parkways and waterways, is a testament to our dedication to preserving Boston's natural beauty. We manage three active cemeteries and 16 burying grounds, honoring the city's rich history and heritage.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Tree Removal and Parks and Recreation Commission hearings are now held online, ensuring safety and accessibility for all. This summer, enjoy free family favorite movies in your neighborhood parks, or join us for the six-concert Tito Puente Latin Music Series in July and August.

For those seeking outdoor adventures, explore the Boston Parks and Recreation Department's full schedule of free events and activities for all ages. Additionally, we're excited to introduce Alianza, a first-of-its-kind traveling beer garden brought to you by Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation, in partnership with the City of Boston.

Whether you're visiting for a leisurely stroll, a family picnic, or a community event, Parkman Memorial and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department welcome you to enjoy the vibrant green spaces that make our city unique.
