  • Boston Common and the Public Gardens are lovely. Even if you just use them to cut through on your way to Cheers, or to the Downtown area, it's a lovely walk. Lots of families, there's a lake with the Swan Boats, and Make Way for The Ducklings ! There's a T stop, right at the corner.

    Boston Common is one of America's most famous city parks. This lovely green space adjoins Boston Public Garden. This area was designated a park in 1634, making it our country's oldest public park. Prior to 1817, it was used for public hangings. These two parks from part of Boston's Emerald Necklace, a ring of interconnected public green spaces.

  • Boston Common is the oldest public park in the United States. It opened in 1634 as a cow pasture and training ground. It takes up 40 acres and is also a stop on the Freedom Trail. It is a nice place to sit and relax on a sunny day, or go for a run.

    Boston Common is the starting point for the Freedom Trail. Look for the red brick line. The park is around 50 acres.

    Boston's first public park, Boston Common is located downtown, in close proximity to the state capital and Beacon Hill, city hall, Chinatown, and Newbury Street. It's a great public park, and you'll finding people enjoying it at any time of the year. In the winter, public skating is available on the pond located here. In the summer, you might think about a picnic, or buying a monster pretzel at one of the stands. There's parking underneath the Common, but I personally think the best way to get here is by the T, either by the Park Street or Boylston stations.

    Even before Spring has Sprung, Boston Common is alive with residents on the weekend. This particular weekend, there was an Anti-War protest happening and the Common's long history of Freedom of Speach was alive and well. The lagoon was still drained, but in a couple of weeks it will be filled and the famous "swan boats" will be sailing around the lagoon with visitors onboard. Children were riding the bronze ducks. Boys played on the one remaining snow ball left from the previous week's big blizzard. Boston is home to 900,000 people; 300,000 of them students.

    Fall is the most beautiful season of Boston. Leaves change color, weather is cool and sky is bright. Maybe because long winter will come soon, people cherish this season much more.
