The place of peace and its not only for kids but for adults it is more mesmerizing. This is the common garden of the city of Boston situated in the heart of the city.

The place of romance... The place for refreshing from your daily schedule and more over the perfect place for kids to play with swans and squirrels.... What can I say with this place. Boston is heaven in summer everywhere it's colorful green grass different shades of flowers and white brown swans and lots of playing squirrels.

This garden is free of cost only you have to pay for parking for the vehicle. If you are lucky enough you will get a parking at roadside.... Lot of restaurants beside the park. So you can grab a food from there are eat it in garden. All I can say about this place is awesome. There is frog pond in winter you can use that for ice skating too.
