摘要:Imagine sun bathing, playing baseball,
or fl ying a kite on top of a huge pile of
garbage. Actually, there’s no need to
imagine—simply head out to Boston’s
Millennium Park. Fifteen years ago,
known as the Gardner Street Landfi ll,
it was a dump—literally. Today its 100
acres host sports fi elds, playgrounds,
an outdoor classroom and amphitheater,
six miles of walking and biking
trails, and river access. As Mayor Tom
Menino stated at its opening December
7, 2000, it is “a place for people of
all ages and backgrounds to come for
a picnic, a friendly ballgame, or some
solitude.”
