    Beautiful park! Wonderfully maintained and very clean. A wonderful place to get off your feet for a minute or two in a beautiful environment.

    Busy cities need green spaces and this one near the Financial District gets it done. Trees, grass, benches and a fountain (though it was drained for the winter). It's a small park, so you're not going to be able to get away from the street noise or even the occasional jet turning on its climb out of Logan a couple of miles away. Still, the grass helped improve my mood. It is nicely lit up in the evening. There is a parking deck underneath the park. It's probably very expensive.

    Next time you're busy running to the coffee shop, the gym, the office, the bathroom...take a moment to appreciate this small park in the financial district. It's simple, calming, and beautiful. Best part is that it's free!! Walk through, look up, and enjoy the view. (Jk on the bathroom. If you gotta go, you gotta go.)

    The greatest park of all time. This place is spotless, and I am in love with the free cushions in the summer (so you don't get grass stains) and the book cart. The live music is great too, although I can't say anyone actually listens to it. Everyone's too busy people-watching and sunning themselves. It gets fairly crowded in the summer, but there are so many places to sit (on the grass, on benches, on other benches, on the low gray wall surrounding the park) that it never feels claustrophobic. I've never been, but they also have free exercise classes in the morning (at the crack of dawn - oof) and after work.

    This a a beautiful downtown Boston mini park. It is kept nearly spotlessly clean - which is really impressive given it's near downtown crossing location. During good weather months there are cushions and books available to use for free. There is also a brand new fountain at the end closest to Fanueil Hall and Sip (a little coffee+ shop) at the other end. And, there is a very nice parking garage right below it. They've also started offering workout classes in the mornings and there are sometimes musicians during lunch hours. Great stuff!

    Gorgeous fall morning here

    Total hidden gem. It's gorgeous, well kept up, and lovely all year round.

    An adorable park nestled in the Financial District of Boston, Norman B Levanthal Park is the perfect spot to take a minute and enjoy the greenery in the big city. The abundance of trees and fountains makes it a great location even during the hot summer months. It's close proximity to Sip Cafe makes this park a popular place for visitors to enjoy a coffee or tea or even have an outdoor lunch. It's not rare to see picnics happening on the lawn or visitors reading a novel on the benches. Great scenery, a central location, and a beautiful layout, you can't go wrong with a visit to this park.

    Another great Green space in the city to sit and enjoy. Lots of interesting places to take pictures if you need amazing backgrounds.

    Any city in the world would be thrilled to have a park like this. Boston and its Financial District are lucky it's theirs.

    Beautiful little patch of a park with a fountain among tall industrial buildings. Great place to cool off and sit on the grass for a bit!

    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!

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.
