 Boston Public Garden by Trillian2005
During the warmer seasons, the lake is the home of one or more swans and is the site of the Swan Boats, a famous Boston tourist attraction. For a small fee, tourists can sit in a boat that looks like a swan and is pedaled around the lake by a tour guide who, in most cases, is a human and not a swan.
You'll encounter several statues in the Public Garden, but you need to get of your Swan Boat and walk. Located at the Arlington Street gate you'll find the statue of George Washington on horseback. A set of bronze statues based on the main characters of the children's story "Make Way for Ducklings" is located between the pond and the Charles and Beacon streets entrance. There aren't any swan statues in the park, at least not that I've seen any. Leave a Comment

A lovely respite on a hot day and home to the famous swan boats. I took the "T" from the museum to one stop beyond Copley to walk a bit in the Boston Public Gardens. I wanted to visit the "Make Way for Ducklings" sculpture, but it was hot and my feet were tired so I only made it as far as the bridge. There was a lot of activity, including a father & son feeding the ducks and the tourist-laden swan boats. Leave a Comment

The showpiece of the springtime metamorphosis is the Public Garden. The stars of the show are the carpets of multicolored tulips, but others are no less lively. Pink and white cherry blossoms adorn one side of the park, while weeping willows festooned with yellow blossoms dip their droopy branches into the lake. Colorful mallards create crisscrossing trails on the water. The elegant statues and monuments of the garden become winsome ornaments for this colorful display. Leave a Comment Directions: Subway Green line, Arlington stop, or Red line, Park Street stop.
