        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.
