Boston Common

A great place to relax or have a romantic walk. Great place for food vendors and people watching and playing frisbee ...and more ! The Public Garden and the swan boats are right next door.

If you're looking for a safe place to run, Boston Common is almost exactly 1 mile around! (it's also the meeting place for our guided runs: <aclass="entity url"rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freedomtrailrun.com/"target="_blank" data-sig="IwhxxwIkVgdQ4IzM7aN0wC/wfZ8=" onmousedown="fourSq.ui.OutgoingLink.mousedown($(this), event)" data-source="tip-text">http://www.freedomtrailrun.com/</a>)

You can go ice skating outdoors, at Frog Pond , in the winter. It can get crowded but it's always a good time

Some famous points of interest nearby are: The "Cheers" restaurant , The Statehouse and the Orpheum Theatre which has had rock bands such as Aerosmith, The Scorpions, White Snake and Elvis Costello.

Boston Common is a must-see if you're visiting Boston. Be sure to take the Black Heritage Trail . Tours start at the Robert Gould Shaw and 54th Massachusetts Regiment Memorial.

Always beautiful in every season. My husband and I took our engagement picture here and in the garden and they came out beautiful.

Such a beautiful, clean park . Great to relax, read, play sports or walk your dog. It's huge so you're bound to find a space for yourself! ????

Bought by the Puritan founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634, it's 20ha and the oldest public park in the US. This landmark is the first stop of the freedom trail .

Visit the Common (not Commons, that’s what tourists call it) on Memorial Day and see all the flags. It’s truly beautiful. And appropriately memorable.

One of the best spots to take in all that one of the most historic cities in America has to offer! Skate on Frog Pond in the winter and enjoy free concerts on the grass every summer!

Some of the cheapest parking in the city , especially for extended stays. Leave your beer and cigarettes at home, police are pretty particular about the rules at this beautiful urban park .

Summer: Frog pond us fun for kids . Boston Garden is right next to the Common, so don't forget to visit both. In winter: Frog pound turns to ice skating .

Ever feel bat sh!t crazy? Well what always makes me feel better is people watching in the Boston Common. No matter low or high you may feel, someone is always doing much worse than you.

Beautiful park , lots of history, very clean !!

The Common was used for public hangings up until 1817. In early 1965, 100 people gathered here to protest the Vietnam War, & speeches have been given here by Martin Luther King Jr & Pope John Paul III

Once famed for public hangings and Redcoat army camps, Boston Common is now occupied by relaxing park lovers. Summer sees children splash happy at the Frog Pond . Winter brings out the ice-skaters.

Really nice park to visit although quite small in size. It's haunted as well so you might see some friendly spirits!

Boston Common is a quiet place to visit and being relax. It is bordered by Beacon Hill , the Public Garden and downtown.

Be sure to check out the duck statues from Make Way for Ducklings.

It's like any centrally located massive grassy area in the big city ... plenty of spots to sit around and people watch !!!!

Great park to relax and walk around. And always holds great events every year like shakespear in the park , youth pride, hemp fest and more.

Boston Common is decorated annually for Christmas , with a tree donated by Nova Scotia, in thanks for Boston's help after the 1917 Halifax explosion. It's a great place to enjoy the holiday season. Read more

Have to check out the Boston Commons while in the city . Beautiful! Also make sure you walk down Newbury street by the North West entrance for shops, food, and drinks!

Beautiful park established in 1634. Take a stroll. In warmer weather, have a picnic !

Great people watching . You’re near almost everything in the city—Financial District; Theater District; Charles River ; Faneuil Hall; Waterfront .

Such a big park full of cool stuff, like the pond and fountain . And there are a lot of subway stations to get there easily

If you are in Boston, a load of spots to visit are easily walkable from here. Do enjoy the freedom walk and rest here peacefully .

I love this place but be careful where you step during geese migration season as the roads are full of their droppings.

Did you read E.B. White's Trumpet of the Swan? Parts of the book were based on the summer Swan Boats that float inside the Common.

I recommend going to the Common when this guy is doing his karaoke . Honestly, nothing has helped me desires and decompress more in some time. Gawbless.

Fun area to people watch and frolick with loved ones (human or canine) in the summer.

Cool central spot with great views . Watch out for the Pokémon nerds

The heart of Boston. Not as big as NYC's Central Park . But part of the Bostonians' life.

Nice place to come and relax there's a chance you'll smell certain illegal substances but mostly relaxed college kids enjoying the day in one of the largest links of Boston's emerald necklace

Beautiful and Historical visit. Rich in history. Free Guided tour advised.

The city needs to clean the Commons up. I brought my little ones to the frog pond Saturday. There was trash everywhere, homeless people laying all about, and the whole place stunk of garbage & pot

Ladies: If you're on a bench by yourself, you will be hit on aggressively and repeatedly! Amusing, but if you don't think so, stay in motion or bring a buddy.

I like the idea behind it, but I think visiting in the summer is much better, so they can fill the yard with water for the ducks

A beautiful place to study, walk, or run. Be sure to look up Jesse Pomeroy and his creepy "hauntings" of this place once you get the chance.
