Boston Parks and Baths Promote Health and Civic Life
The city’s baths and gymnasia draw diverse crowds daily with free swimming and fitness lessons. Parks expanding to 2,384 acres connect with 8,000 more acres via parkways under a metropolitan commission. Municipal bands, open-air concerts, and extensive park access underscore civic pride, while attempts at private-style ventures like ferries and municipal printing face consistent losses and debate.
