The park extends south from Seaver and
Walnut Streets to Forest Hills, and is the largest park in the Emerald Necklace chain.
Olmsted regarded Franklin Park as the crowning jewel of his achievements in Boston. This
527 acre country site of rolling hills and broad meadows offers the Franklin Park Zoo,
hiking, picnicking, and an 18-hole public golf course. The zoo features a large African tropical forest exhibit which is home to more than 150 animals, an outdoor bird aviary and flight cage, a waterfowl pond, and a wetland pond. |
The gorillas, leopards, pygmy hippos, and talpoin
monkeys are some of the most popular animals. A petting zoo is available for children.
The new lion exhibit lets you get as close as possible to these beautiful animals.
