"This linear belt of parks and gardens runs from Little Italy in the North End to Chinatown. The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Conservancy helped raise funds for the project and guide its design and implementation. Each park has a unique design, reflecting the character of the neighborhood in which it resides. For example, Chinatown has Uncle Frank & Auntie Kay Chin Park, which features a serpentine walkway edged with bamboo and ornamental plants common in East Asia, such as cherry trees and peonies. The trees, flowers, fountains, public art, historical sites, and promenades along the Greenway provide a welcome respite in this densely built area of the city filled with skyscrapers, traffic, and noise." - MATADOR_NETWORK
