    Make way for the ducks

    . . . you can sit in here and relax. Feed the swans and ducks (the real ones) and just enjoy the weather.

    It's not part of The Freedom Trail, it is worth visiting before continuing on The Trail.

    I wondered into the garden by accident. I visited the Cheers pub and was trying to get back to the common and ended up in the Public garden.

    It was a good error.
    Some of the best bits are The Swan Boats, Make Way for Ducklings Statues and a Statue of George Washington on his horse.

    Boston has the only swanboats in the world. I haven't a photo of them, but easy enough to find using an image search on Google. Better yet, come to Boston and see them yourself. Robert McCloskey made them famous in his children's classic Make Way for Ducklings, another must read for those planning a trip to Boston.

    Do you remember the children's book....Make Way for Ducklings. Well, that book's setting is Boston, in fact a park in Boston. The park has iron statues of the momma duck and her babies.

    These ducks are one of the prize posessions of the citizens of Boston. A while back some vandalism happend to the ducks, and the city was FURIOUS.

    No matter what season, this is a great place to walk or people watch. The oldest park in the Country and it is constantly changing due to the seasons.

    as a kid, my mom would take us there for the swan boats, which are still a huge draw. Now, I just like to walk through and take in the sights. It's big, beautiful, and free :)

    Originally inspired by Wagner's Lobengrin and has been a feature of the Public Garden lake since 1877. It had never occured to me until I saw them, that they are powered by the man (or woman) steering and gently pedalling on the back.
