Adams Park - Roslindale

Roslindale, a neighborhood of Boston, is a quaint little village that gives off a very different appeal then the city that it associates itself with. The main pass through Roslindale is Washington Street. Near the center of this neighborhood lies a quaint little park; Adams Park. At this point traffic on Washington street is routed around the park, providing ample service to the small shops and boutiques that border the park and define the center of the neighborhood.

The park itself is small in size, yet fits the needs of the community. The main path through the park runs east west providing pedestrian access from Cummins Highway to South Street. The park is lined with trees on all sides with several monuments within its borders.
The feeling that this park and surrounding structures gives off, makes it hard to believe that its a part of a larger city. It feels like it belongs in a small suburban town way outside of Boston. Community members of this park are often seen gathering at is center enjoying the gardens and the small town feeling that it gives off.
