 In 1892
Olmsted prepared a simple configuration for the park that would encompass Jamaica Pond. He
left the overall area alone, and added some more vegetation to the area and proposed a
boathouse, which was added in the early 1900s. The main aspect of the pond was to form a link to the
rest of the necklace.
In 1900, the City of Boston renamed
the Park Olmsted Park in honor of its creator. |
