Boston Harbor Islands State Park
- Boston Harbor Islands State Park
Boston Harbor Islands State Park is a Massachusetts state park comprising 13 islands located in Boston Harbor, which now forms part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.
The park was developed from the 1970s by the "Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management (DEM)". In 1996, the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area was created, including the State Park's islands and many others. However, due the unusual partnership management arrangements of the National Recreation Area, the State Park still exists as a low profile administrative entity. It is now managed by the DEM's successor, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, from a park headquarters near to the ferry terminal in Hingham.[cite web | url = http://www.nps.gov/archive/boha/parkdocs/fgmp/BOHA_gmp.pdf | title = Boston Harbor Islands - General Management Plan | publisher = National Parks Service | accessdate = October 19 | accessyear = 2006] ]Islands
