Review: Boston Common
Photos
A green, 50-acre oasis in the heart of downtown Boston, the Common is the oldest park in the United States (first laid out as a pasture for cattle grazing in 1634). Stroll through the impeccable manicured grounds, soak in the historical markers, and don't leave without taking a ride in a swan boat in the adjacent Boston Public Garden.
