 Ducks at the Commons by MatthewMetcalfe
First established in the 1600's as a grazing grounds for cattle, the commons have since had the city of Boston grow up around it.
There are a lot of homeless people hanging out in the commons but they've never caused a bit of problem for me. They all seem to keep to themselves although they usually have the best benches occupied as beds :).
While the commons are plain park area, the Gardens are well designed and absolutely beautiful. Flower beds and flowering trees abound in this area. There's also a Duck Pond where you can ride in a swan boat. Leave a Comment

Boston Common is a large park area located in the center of the city adjacent to many destinations you may wish to visit while in Boston. It's a great place to grab a cold drink on a hot day at one of the stands that dot the walkways, or even convince some of the locals to let you in on their games of Ultimate Frisbee! Leave a Comment

The starting point of the Freedom Trail. The Boston Common is known to be one of the oldest public parks in the country. The park is almost 50 acres in size. Today, Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace, a system of connected parks that winds through many of Boston's neighborhoods. The "Common" has been used for many different purposes throughout its long history. Until 1830, cattle grazed the Common, and until 1817, public hangings took place here. British troops camped on Boston Common prior to the Revolution and left from here to face colonial resistance at Lexington and Concord in April, 1775.
Nowadays it's a perfect place to walk along through the nice gardens, sit and relax or do some sports (Baseball- and Softball fields, tennis courts, ....). You can also find there a Visitor Information Center where you can get infos, buy souvenirs or city maps. Leave a Comment

This is the United States oldest park, belonging to the people of Boston since 1634. It is situated in the centre of the city & is a delight to walk through or sit and relax in.
