Lynn Fells Parkway, Straße in den Vereinigten Staaten
Lynn Fells Parkway is a road of about four miles in Melrose and Saugus, Massachusetts, that connects local parks and neighborhoods. The route is lined with tall trees that provide shade and natural surroundings, and features wide shoulders for pedestrians and bike paths.
The parkway was conceived in 1897 as part of a broad plan to create a system of connected park roads around Boston, with help from the Olmsted Brothers. Construction of the first sections began in the early 1900s, with the first segment built between 1906 and 1908, while a difficult section near Ell Pond Park was not completed until 1911.
Lynn Fells Parkway is named after the hilly woodlands in the region that have long held meaning for local residents. When you walk along it, you notice old stone walls and mature tree canopies that reflect early park design and continue to shape how people experience the area today.
When you visit or walk along the parkway, expect well-kept roads, clear signage, wide sidewalks, and plenty of green surroundings. You will get the best experience by visiting during off-peak times and on sunny afternoons, when the road is quieter and trees provide the most shade.
A large girder railroad bridge built in the 1930s carries trains over the parkway and stands as a notable example of engineering from that era. This structural landmark shows how infrastructure was historically integrated with the parkway and remains a striking sight for visitors passing through.
