In America, the end of the nineteenth century was the golden age of urban park creation. Following the success of architect Frederick Law Olmsted's Central Park in New York City and the Emerald Necklace in Boston, there was a worldwide drive for additional recreational activities for city people, spurred by the assumption that access to fresh air might alleviate a litany of societal ills. The Metropolitan Park Commission (MPC, now the Department of Conservation and Recreation, or DCR) was founded in Massachusetts in 1893 with the purpose of constructing the country's first interconnected regional park system. Garage B will be offering discounted pricing for events throughout the summer. Contact Jenna Chilington, our Event Sales Coordinator, at jchillington@charlesriverspeedway.com or events@charlesriverspeedway.com, or fill out and submit the form found on our website to learn more about hosting your event at Garage B.
