Downtown · Directions

The Public Garden centers a lagoon within botanical displays, unusual trees, meandering paths, monuments, and fountains in a compact Victorian garden.

Swan Boats are separately operated and seasonal, while floral displays and fountains change through the year. The official overview does not provide a whole-garden accessibility assessment for every path and bridge.
