What people say

Emma Owen
"This public garden is the perfect place to have an afternoon hang out or walk. It is usually relatively busy but in the middle of a busy area so there's lots to do around (bars, shops, etc). You'll also have some great photo spots with Boston sky scrapers in the background of duck filled ponds. "
Mc Kenzie Coggins
"Boston Common is a beautiful park that is centrally located. There are multiple monuments located here for you to admire. They also have an Ice skating rink that you can skate at certain times of the year. Be sure to bring your fur babies as well to walk with you on the walking trail."
Danielle Gawlik
"Explore the beautiful green spaces of Boston Common and adjacent Public Garden. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, picnic by the pond, and take a swan boat ride in the Public Garden. These parks provide a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city."
