Boston Common bounded by Beacon, Charles,
Boylston, Park and Tremont Streets
Boston
This 40-acre area
is the nation's oldest public park. The
land was set aside for public use in 1634
(originally as a cow pasture and training
ground). Today, the park tends to be full
of sun worshippers relaxing and
picnicking on the grassy hills during
nice weather. The Commons also has a
longstanding tradition as a place where
demonstrators can exercise their right to
freedom of speech without the hassle of
getting a permit (a refreshing hands-off
policy that the government should makes
sure also extends to the Internet). Part
of the Freedom
Trail.
