The Pyramid Stairs have bluestone risers and turf treads. Originally built in the early 1930s, the stairs slowly moved downhill and several stones were broken and leaning and the turf was in poor condition, resulting in a potentially dangerous and aesthetically unpleasing situation.

    The Green Agenda: Explore the Lush Parks and Gardens of Massachusetts

    The green agenda: Explore the lush parks and gardens of Massachusetts Sarah Baxter discovers literary connections and military history on her trip to New England Sarah Baxter Friday, 9 August 2013 Although I was 50 floors up a steel-and-glass skyscraper, looking down on one of the larger cities in the US, I felt curiously close to nature. The view from the Prudential Tower's 700ft-high observatory made it clear that, though undeniably urban, Boston's heart is green. The colour courses through the city. Most obvious from my eyrie was the Emerald Necklace, a seven-mile chain of open spaces masterminded in the late 19th century by Frederick Law Olmsted (of Central Park fame). From Boston Common – the country's oldest park – it snakes down leafy Commonwealth Avenue, before sprawling to the Back Bay Fens, Jamaica Pond and beyond. To the north I could see the green esplanade of the Charles River (where, earlier, I'd watched a turtle dig a nest). To the east curved Rose F Kennedy Greenway, created when the elevated highway was torn down. In all directions there were abundant trees, packed between rows of handsome redbricks like protective bubble wrap. The viridescence runs deeper, too. It swirls in the psyche of a city that's 20 per cent Irish- American. It even infiltrates Boston's obsessional sports scene: the emerald-jerseyed Celtics play basketball at TD Garden; the Red Sox's baseball stadium, Fenway Park, has trademarked the colour "Fens Green". All of which is to say that this was an appropriate start, because I'd come to Massachusetts to admire its parks and gardens.
