Fun Facts

Before becoming a park, the site was home to the Boston Post Office and a major transit hub for horse-drawn carriages and later, streetcars.

The park sits atop a seven-level underground parking garage, which was part of a major urban renewal project completed in 1992.

The park, officially named Norman B. Leventhal Park, offers a serene escape with its lush gardens and water features amidst the city's skyscrapers.

The park incorporates sustainable practices, including rainwater harvesting systems and native plantings to support local biodiversity.

From outdoor concerts to art installations, the park serves as a vibrant cultural hub for both locals and visitors.
