Back Bay Fens

Over the years Boston has commishoned many man made parks in and around the city in an effort to beautify the landscape of an ever changing city. Not only do these parks serve as recreational grounds for the residents of Boston, but they also provide protection. Many of the parks have been lowered from street level to allow for rains large enough to bring about a flood. These parks along with bringing beauty and interaction to the city are also designated flood plains. These are sketches and photos of the Back Bay Fens, part of the Emerald Necklace and through this documentation you can clearly see the sloping hills and lowered fields.
