Boston Park is a historic park located in the center of Boston. It is the starting point of the Freedom Trail. Today, Boston Park is an open green park.
Boston Park is also a major representative attraction of Boston. It is also the starting point of the Freedom Trail. Most travel plans also start from this park. As one of the oldest parks in the United States, there is a 4-mile Freedom Trail starting from here on foot. Following the signs on the ground, you will pass through various historical sites in Boston. In the summer, there will be various concerts here. The little squirrels on the ground are not afraid of people and will wander around. The sun shines through the gaps in the trees, casting dots of sunlight. Various monuments can also be seen in the park. It is very suitable for a stroll here when the weather is clear. Everything seems very pleasant. There are also lakes and gardens in the park. You can bring a picnic mat and come here to enjoy the spring atmosphere.

I think the Boston Public Garden is worth a visit. It is the first public botanical garden in the United States. It was established in 1837 and has a profound historical and cultural heritage. The scenery here is super beautiful and picturesque in all seasons. It is a good place to relax.
There are many highlights. The swan boat is super iconic. It has been there since 1877. You can enjoy the scenery while sitting on it. The statue of George Washington on horseback is particularly majestic and has high artistic and historical value. There are abundant flowers and plants, and different beauty in different seasons. The lake bridge is super elegant and great for taking photos and walking. There is also the Alice statue, which is very cute and full of childlike fun.

One of my favorite spots to stroll through in the whole city. The Boston Public Garden is worth a visit to see the bridges, statues, and beautiful floral designs. Perfect place to picnic or just sit on a bench and enjoy a coffee. centrally located and close to many major neighborhoods of Boston. Add this to your Boston Bucket list!
