Boston Common: Walk in the park

    Pond in Boston Commons
    by nomadig
    Boston Commons is a green oasis in the middle of the city. Well-manicured grass areas, clean paths and some water elements help stressed city dwellers and tourists alike to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Boston downtown. There are benches here and there, and a lot of trees to provide shadow from the blazing sun in the summer. The park is surprisingly void of services, there are a few stalls selling drinks and ice cream, but nothing else. Which is good.

    Besides being an oasis, Boston Commons is the oldest park in the United States, dating back to the times before independence.

    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.

    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.

    Snowy here but not always!
    by ElaineCatherine
    For a really nice day, take the family out to wander around the Boston Common. My picture shows a very snowy Boston Common, but I can assure you it isnt always so cold. In the Spring the commons just burst with flowers, and there are many fountains to enjoy. There is a great playground for the kids (which I especially like cause there is only one way in and out) There are beautiful monuments to look at and learn more about Boston's history.

    Originally owned by William Blackstone who came to Boston in 1622, the Boston Common is America's oldest public park.
    The Freedom Trail starts from here. There is a sign of the starting point.

    Boston Common: Spend a Spring Day on the Common

    by AKtravelers
    The Boston Common is a breath of fresh air in the city, and a perfect place to relax in the heart of downtown. On a bright spring day (even if it's not particularly warm), you'll find the locals taking in the sun thattyhey've been deprived of during the cold Massachusetts winter.
    The Boston Common is also the start of the Freedom Trail. When we arrived, we got our Freedom Trail maps and booklets, but then wandered around the Common, enjoying the green grass, smiling people, public art and free magician show put on by a group of buskers. We couldn't resist.
