    PLAYGROUND OF THE FUTURE! It's like Melissa and Doug designed a kiddie haven. Recycled rubber flooring follows the natural incline of a hillside, providing gently slopes climbing walls to two slides, both super slick and non-conductive, meaning no tush or leg burns on hot summer days. (What was up with my rusty ass, scorching hot slides as a kid?! Death traps.) Natural, soft wood and vinyl rope structures, along with a swing are tucked away from the main landing, and there's free sunscreen dispensed at the gated entrance. But wait! There's a giant pirate ship. Maybe I buried the lede here but it's a friggin frigate y'all. Bring your kid - easy to kill an hour.

    I'd say for kiddos under 2, maybe even 3, playing on the pirate ship and near the slides definitely needs close adult supervision.

    The Esplanade was a revelation, one of the highlights of my trip to Boston!…read more We took the T-red, got off Charles/MGH and it was a short walk to the Esplanade, a few miles alongside Charles Rivers with beautiful views of the river, wild life, the bridge and the city! We went on a Saturday morning, locals were walking, jogging, sitting on a bench drinking their coffee. Teams were out in the water roving, a nice visual Boston cliche that you see in movies, but I got to see for real. You can walk for miles here, till you get to the BU Bridge in parallel with the beautiful houses of Beacon Hill. Nice nature, cute bridges, birds, peaceful spots to stop by and look at the water, enjoy a book or a coffee. Nice locals offered to take our photos and we enjoyed chatted with. Beautiful sculptures, clean restrooms, lots of greenery. Great spot for a picnic also. I am sure it's pretty here at sunset. I am sure they have events here as well. My husband regrets not knowing about it. He went to Boston University and walked the BU Beach and the Bridge, but wasn't aware of this part. He would have loved to come here for peaceful walks and some reading. We didn't want to leave. A must see place in Boston!

    No visit to Boston Massachusetts feels complete without spending some time exploring this historic…read morelandmark in the heart of Boston. More than just a beautiful public park, Boston Common is deeply connected to the founding history of our Nation and offers visitors a chance to experience a small piece of America's past firsthand. The park is exceptionally well maintained and provides a wonderful atmosphere whether you enjoy history, walking the city, or simply relaxing outdoors. One of the most striking sights is the impressive Soldiers and Sailors Monument standing prominently near the center of the park -- a reminder of the generations that came before us and the enduring history surrounding this area. Whether you are visiting with family, taking in the historic surroundings, or just looking for a pleasant walk through the city, Boston Common is absolutely worth experiencing while in Boston.

Boston Commons is a normal urban park in some ways with a playground for kids, a pond, park benches, a carousel, baseball stadium, and food vendors. It's also part historic park with monuments including one of the 54th Civil War all black regiment, a plaque saying this is the oldest park in America and others. It's also a part of the Freedom Trail. There's also a small cemetery in the park. The park is both busy and relaxing. It's smaller than I expected but that may just be because it felt like I went through it quickly. Time flies when you are having fun so maybe distance does too. Boston Commons is a must stop on any trip to Boston.

    Maybe it was the springtime weather, but this is the prettiest free park that I have ever been to…read more It's directly across the street from Boston Commons so it feels like 1 park but since they had separate signs and had a public street between them, I will treat it as 2. This place is landscaped amazingly with perfectly manicured shrubs, tons of beautiful flowers, interesting statues/monuments and fields for frolicking. Do people still frolic? There were tons of high school and college student taking graduation pics here which makes a ton of sense. There were duck boats to ride around the pond, but it looked like 10-15 people were on the boats and you can't exactly go far. This place doesn't need words. It needs pictures or better yet the human eye. So, grab a picnic basket, enjoy a nice lunch, take a walk around the park but be aware of the thieving squirrels. I had one run up my leg on a park bench to steal my cookie.

    If you've looked up things to see in Boston the Public Garden will most likely be on every list and…read morewith good reason. This is a beautiful garden, nice walkway throughout the area and the garden is right between the Commonwealth Ave Mall & Boston Commons. It's in a great location to do a lot of walking and sightseeing in the city, easy was to spend an hour or so.
