Boston Commons

Boston Common is the oldest public park in United States history and is the beginning of the Freedom Trail. The history of Boston Common dates back to 1634 which is when the area was assigned as a public patch of land. Boston Common park is almost 50 acres in size and is currently used by locals and visitors as a green space in the city to relax in, catch a local concert, gather with friends or throw around on a warm afternoon. Bordered by downtown, Beacon Hill and the Public Garden, Boston Common has an informal layout and very open design.
