Evansway Wooden Museum, located off of the Back Bay Fens section of the Emerald Necklace, strives to highlight wood in its natural state. Lifting up from the site and occupying the most underutilized portions of the already existing park, its extensive green roof system allows for the entire park to be transformed into usable and inspiring exterior spaces.
