Back Bay Fens, Urban park in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Back Bay Fens extends across multiple acres, featuring rose gardens, ball fields, memorials, and community gardens within Boston's Emerald Necklace park system.
Frederick Law Olmsted transformed this former saltwater marsh into a designed landscape in 1879 to address water pollution and create recreational spaces.
The Fenway Victory Gardens, established during World War II food shortages, remain active as the last surviving wartime vegetable gardens in the United States.
Visitors can access the Kelleher Rose Garden from April through November, with operating hours between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM daily.
The park contains a 17th-century Japanese Temple Bell and three war memorials dedicated to World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans.
