Arborway (also known as The Arborway) consists of a four-lane, divided parkway and a two-lane residential street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1890s as the southern-most carriage road in a series of parkways connecting parks from Boston Common in downtown Boston to Franklin Park in Roxbury. This park system has since become known as the Emerald Necklace.
It was included in the landscape complex called the Olmsted Park that was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 1971.[2]
