Olmsted Park is a linear park in Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts, and a part of Boston's Emerald Necklace of connected parks and parkways. Originally named Leverett Park, in 1900 it was renamed to honor its designer, Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted, who had made a reputation designing New York City's Central Park, suggested in 1880 that the swampy and brackish Muddy River be included in Boston's park plan. Beginning in 1890, the river was dredged into a winding stream, a large swamp converted into Leverett's Pond, and Ward's Pond was connected with a small outflowing stream.

| - Der Olmsted Park ist ein länglicher Park in Boston im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten und Teil des Emerald-Necklace-Systems von Parks und Parkways. Der Olmsted Park hieß ursprünglich Leverett Park und wurde erst 1900 zu Ehren seines geistigen Vaters Frederick Law Olmsted umbenannt, der die Pläne der Parkanlagen entwickelt hatte. Die Nähe des Parks zur Longwood Medical and Academic Area sowie der einfache Zugang zur MBTA machen den Park zu einem beliebten Ziel für Spaziergänger und Radfahrer. (de)

Der Olmsted Park hieß ursprünglich Leverett Park und wurde erst 1900 zu Ehren seines geistigen Vaters Frederick Law Olmsted umbenannt, der die Pläne der Parkanlagen entwickelt hatte. Olmsted, der sich seinen guten Ruf durch den Entwurf des New Yorker Central Parks erworben hatte, empfahl 1880, den sumpfigen und brackigen Muddy River in die Planungen für Bostoner Parkanlagen aufzunehmen. 1890 begannen die Arbeiten, dem Fluss ein neues Bett zu geben und den großen Sumpf in den Leverett’s Pond umzuwandeln. Der Ward’s Pond wurde ebenfalls durch einen kleinen Zufluss angeschlossen. Die Nähe des Parks zur Longwood Medical and Academic Area sowie der einfache Zugang zur MBTA machen den Park zu einem beliebten Ziel für Spaziergänger und Radfahrer. (de)
- Olmsted Park is a linear park in Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts, and a part of Boston's Emerald Necklace of connected parks and parkways. Originally named Leverett Park, in 1900 it was renamed to honor its designer, Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted Park can be roughly divided into two parts. In the south, bordering Jamaica Pond, it includes athletic fields and three ponds: from the south, a small kettle pond called Ward's Pond, the tiny Willow Pond, and the much larger Leverett Pond. The northern section of the park, above Route 9, is a narrow corridor through which the Muddy River flows on its way to the Charles River. The northern edge of Olmsted Park connects to the Back Bay Fens and the western edge of the Mission Hill neighborhood. Olmsted, who had made a reputation designing New York City's Central Park, suggested in 1880 that the swampy and brackish Muddy River be included in Boston's park plan. Beginning in 1890, the river was dredged into a winding stream, a large swamp converted into Leverett's Pond, and Ward's Pond was connected with a small outflowing stream. Following completion of the Emerald Necklace Parks Master Plan in 1989 (updated in 2001),a number of improvements have been made in Olmsted Park. Riverdale Parkway, originally designed as a carriage road, was transformed into a bicycle and pedestrian path in 1997–98. The Allerton Overlook at the foot of Allerton Street in Brookline was recreated, footbridges re-pointed, and a boardwalk placed at the south end of Wards Pond. In 2006, Brookline restored Olmsted's "Babbling Brook" (a section of the Muddy River in the park), resetting stones, clearing out invasive knotweed, defining the streambed, and replanting trees and shrubs to inhibit future invasives growth.
