Once its own city, Dorchester is now Boston’s largest and most diverse neighborhood, evident in the wide variety of global cuisines found on Dorchester Avenue. The district hosts UMass Boston and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, with artifacts from the president’s life and exhibits on the civil rights era. The Neponset River meanders past several parks, and nearby Franklin Park has woodland trails and a zoo.

Dorchester is also home to Franklin Park, the “crown jewel” of the Emerald Necklace Park System. The park has more 527 acres of green space, a zoo, and public golf course. Among the dozens of other parks in the neighborhood, recently renovated Pope John Paul II Park offers numerous walking and bike paths, athletic fields, and picnic areas with beautiful views of Boston Harbor and the Neponset River.
