It irks me that one-tgird of Franklin Park us occupied by a golf course. It means non golfers, who constitute a majority of Bostonians,can only access the open space Olmstead envisioned for promenading during the winter months or after nightfall.

Olmstead didn't approve of the refectory at Franklin Park either. But I would have liked it. Especially when it served for several years as a Boston Public Library branch. Can you imagine reading under the portico while the sun sets over the meadow?

It fell into disrepair and was torn down in the early 1970s. 😢
