WE ALREADY HAVE A START The major public open spaces of Boston and of Brookline, together with private estate areas, form the framework for the Charles-to-Charles corridor. The corridor can be thought of as three segments strung along a northeast-southwest axis. The dominant element in the northern segment is Olmsted Park, which extends from the Charles River Basin to Jamaica Pond. The Olmsted design also links Boston Common and the Public Garden by Commonwealth Avenue Mall to the Fens, up the Muddy River, across Leverett and Ward

The dominant element in the northern segment is Olmsted Park, which extends from the Charles River Basin to Jamaica Pond. The Olmsted design also links Boston Common and the Public Garden by Commonwealth Avenue Mall to the Fens, up the Muddy River, across Leverett and Ward's Ponds to Jamaica Pond. The middle segment principally consists of private estates and existing public green space: Jamaica Pond and Larz Anderson Park. A northwest-southeast axis crossing the corridor links Newton's Hammond Pond and Webster Estate Conservation lands with Brookline's Lost Pond, The Country Club, Putterham Meadows Golf Course and Larz Anderson Park to Boston's Arnold Arboretum and Franklin Park. The open space potential of the southern segment consists of the Sawmill Brook marshes, privately-owned wooded areas and cemetery lands, and the Brookline Wildlife Sanctuary (the D. Blakeley Hoar Natural Area)..
