Boston Public Garden is America's first Botanical garden. Park was established in 1837. It reminds us the Central Park of New York, though its much smaller in size (24 acres vs 843 acres).
Interestingly, all that land, and beyond were reclaimed from the sea. The entire area were marshes and landfills, which were subsequently reclaimed by manually filling in dirt!
The lake in the center of park is around 4 acres. During summer season, the lake have small paddle boats, and during winter the water freezes and it is used as a skating ring.
