North End Parks (Boston, Massachusetts)

USA / Massachusetts / Boston / Boston, Massachusetts
The North End Parks design concept features flexible spaces including green landscapes with a path system, plazas with pergolas and water features. A boxwood hedge frames the perennial gardens of irises, lavender, peonies and poppies that border the western edge of the parks. A variety of plants will flower continuously through the spring, summer and fall. Trees such as magnolia, ash and a larger Washington elm adorn the parks. As a vibrant expression of Italian origins of today's North End, the community porch pergola is planted with flowering vines. Chairs, tables and benches abound to read a book or enjoy a slice.
