关于Emerald Necklace paths
- 路面
- Mixed. The Riverway, Olmsted Park, Jamaica Pond and Arborway paths are mostly paved asphalt with some packed stone dust. The Back Bay Fens has paved paths plus gravel and stone dust paths.
- 规定
- Boston park rules say no one may stay in a city park between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m., but you may pass through on the walks. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than 8 feet. On DCR parkway paths, DCR allows Class 1 e-bikes on paved paths 8 feet wide or more.
- 冬季
- Paths beside the Riverway, Jamaicaway and Arborway are on the state plowing plan. Paths inside the parks can wait days after big storms. 来源
