Sunny days, endless fun, and activities for everyone to enjoy!

Put the Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the Commonwealth Avenue Mall at the top of your list this summer.

Discover a multitude of low-cost, family-friendly ways to enjoy the parks – take in a free summer concert with a local artist on the Common, visit The Embrace, splash around in the Frog Pond, or just enjoy being in nature.

These three beloved parks are not just beautiful but also national historic landmarks. They are open every day from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
