PARK AND CCME^TCRY 
326 
Park area in populous section of the city. Combines beautiful scenery with gymnastic facilities. 
separated reservations is a system of parkways — Fells- 
way forking into Fellsway west and Fellsway east 
uniting Broadway Park in Somerville Park with the 
Middlesex Fells. Under construction is the Chelsea 
Parkway linking Fellsway at a point just above the 
Mystic with Revere Beaeh and Winthrop. Revere 
Beach Reservation will unite with the drive over Na- 
hant Neck and lead out to the bold scenery of Nahant 
and its vicinity. Continuing northward from Revere 
Beach parkway to Kings Beach, a branch extends 
thence northwesterly to Lynn Woods. Lynn Woods 
will be in turn joined with the Fells, by a proposed 
parkway. On the western side of the Fells is the 
entrance of the Mystic Valley Parkway, a part of which 
skirts the Upper Mystic lakes. Eventually this is to 
be extended with a southward trend to connect Spy 
and Spot Ponds and the Charles River Reservation. 
Following the Charles to Dedham and the Neponset 
River to Readville there is a connection via the Stony 
Brook, West Roxbury Parkway and the Arnold 
Arboretum with the Boston Park System. 
From the Neponset at Stony Brook an easterly 
course extending along the river’s channel crosses the 
Blue Flills Parkway and continues to the picturesque 
rocks of Squantum. 
Following the sea washed shore of the rocks of 
Squantum and extending southward along the shore 
of Quincy Bay and thence in a westerly direction, con- 
nection can be made with Rattlesnake Hill of the Blue 
Hill Range. The extreme western part of Blue Hill 
is tied to the system by Balster Brook Parkway, the 
southern extension of Blue Hill Parkway which leads 
into the heart of Boston.

beauty in the seven or 
eight miles from its de- 
bouchure into the Potomac
