Charles Eliot Memorial, Memorial at Charles River Esplanade, Boston, US
The Charles Eliot Memorial features a four-sided granite block monument with inscriptions listing metropolitan parks in the four cardinal directions.
The memorial was established in 1931 to honor Charles Eliot, who shaped the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston and the Arnold Arboretum.
The monument stands as a testament to early 20th-century urban planning principles that emphasized the integration of green spaces within city landscapes.
The memorial sits near Community Boating Inc docks, accessible through the Charles Street Footbridge and various pathways along the Esplanade.
The 2014 renovation included soil enhancement, lawn repairs, and the creation of Founder's Overlook, offering views of Boston's skyline and the Charles River.
