In Boston’s financial district, a lovely 1.7-acre park is nestled between the office buildings, giving workers and others a pleasant respite for enjoying lunch and relaxation. Post Office Square, also known as Norman B. Leventhal Park, features numerous trees and other plantings, an open lawn, a pergola along one boundary, fountains, and a café. This space is privately-owned and maintained, but open to the public. It was completed in 1992 on a site that was formerly occupied by an above-ground garage. Parking is now located below the property.
A central lawn, pergola with benches, and other seating areas provide plenty of opportunities for relaxation.

Nice. So this is what they did with the old expressway, hmmm?

This park is not in the area of the old expressway. You’re probably thinking of the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

Yes – Thanks for adding that credit! It’s one of the most successful public spaces in Boston.
