Harvard University's Great Botanical Garden is located on and around three hills, with the highest, Peters Hill, offering a particularly beautiful view of the city skyline. And botany enthusiasts can, of course, spend days here, admiring the sheer number of exotic plants.

The lake is beautifully framed by mature trees and even has a boathouse for rowers and sailors. The entire approach to the arboretum is so picturesque that you almost forget you're in the middle of a big city.

A significant portion of the park is occupied by various sports facilities, such as basketball and tennis courts. Still, there's plenty of space for a bike path and rest areas.

Favorite for relaxing and doing sports. Nature close to the town

In the middle of the city in a nice and growing district. In Jamaica Plains you can also go to the arboretum and look at small artists' studios

The Charles River Bike Path, also known as the Charles River Greenway, offers a 22-mile paved route connecting Boston to its western suburbs. Following both shores of the Charles River from the Museum of Science to Norumbega Park in Newton, the path passes through Watertown and Waltham, making up part of the planned 3,000-mile East Coast Greenway. A segment named after cardiologist Paul Dudley White highlights his advocacy for preventive medicine, and biking. This mixed-use trail includes picnic tables and allows dogs outside, with scenic loops running along Cambridge, Watertown, and Boston neighborhoods like the West End, Back Bay, and Allston-Brighton.

Watertown Dock, located on the Charles River near the Dr. Paul Dudley White Path, offers access via stairs or ramp to this wooden dock right on the water. This little square also features the Watertown Veteran's Memorial. Designed by CLE Engineering and built by Grove Construction, the dock serves as a fishing area and preserves Watertown’s historical connection to the river.

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is a 270-acre nature reserve in the heart of Boston. It manages one of the world's most comprehensive and best-documented collections of temperate woody plants, with a particular focus on the floras of eastern North America and East Asia. As part of the Emerald Necklace park system, it is open daily for free. The arboretum was founded in 1872, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (1872) and co-designed by Charles Sprague Sargent, the first director. https://arboretum.harvard.edu/ https://arboretum.harvard.edu/explorer/
