The George Wright golf course was designed and opened in Hyde Park in the 1930's as part of the Works Progress Administration under FDR. This is a public golf course that has a large committee called the Friends of George Wright that work with Mayor Menino's office in order to keep Boston's golf courses beautiful.

Designed by the famed Donald Ross as a WPA project in the 1930s, George Wright was built on a site unfit for a golf course. There was too much ledge, and what wasn't ledge was hill and wetland. If environmentalists had the say 70 years ago that they do today, this golf course never would have been built. George Wright is at the mercy of the elements. The antiquated drainage system needs work, and since there isn't an irrigation system, the course's conditions are fickle. Too much rain and it becomes a swamp. And when there is a drought, the fairways are burned out. Then again, this is one of the best golf buys in the Boston area. Maybe we have become too accustomed to manicured conditions. Maybe it is more courageous to hit shots from hard-pan lies occasionally. It's the way the game was played a century ago.

The Hyde Park branch of the YMCA offers cardiovascular equipment, free weights, a pool, fitness classes, child care, school age day care, and a day camp.

The city refurbished the basketball courts in recent years, users said, and the children's play equipment is in mint condition. One of two water fountains was working. For a city park, it doesn't need any improvements," said 51-year-old Derryl Hopkins, who plays basketball there several times a week. I think Tommy [Menino] has done a great job with the parks."
