Park Square in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, is bounded by Stuart, Charles Street South, Boylston, and Arlington Streets.^{[citation needed]}

Description

Park Square is the home of the Boston Four Seasons Hotel, the Boston Park Plaza, and nearly a dozen restaurants. To the north across Boylston Street is the Boston Public Garden. To the east is the Washington Street Theatre District. The Bay Village neighborhood is to the south, and Back Bay is to the west.^[1]

At one time, the terminus of the Boston and Providence Railroad was in the square; however, after South Station opened, the terminal was closed.

The Emancipation Memorial, commemorating the emancipation of American slaves, was installed in Park Square in 1879 and removed in December 2020.^[2]

A small street in the district was renamed "Park Plaice" (plaice being a type of flatfish) in honor of Legal Sea Foods, a local restaurant.^[3]^[4]

Boston Renaissance Charter Public School was formerly located in a building in Park Square.^[5] In 2010, it moved to Hyde Park.^[6]

From 1964 to 1974, the University of Massachusetts Boston campus was located in Park Square.^[7]
