Lovely spot to observe Boston life.

The Commonwealth Avenue Mall is a narrow strip of open green space stretching between the Boston Public Garden and Massachusetts Avenue. It reminded us of the Golden State Park Panhandle in San Francisco. This mall, was designed in the mid 19th century by Arthur Gilman, who took inspiration from Parisian boulevards and the green squares of London when devising the plans for the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Here you will find a single straight footpath running the length of the mall, taking in a handful of historic sculptures and monuments and endless rows of tall trees, on both sides, providing shade to walkers and those who rest upon the mall benches. Monuments that we enjoyed seeing in particular include that of Bostonian Samuel Eliot Morison (1982) casually seated upon a roughly edged granite rock. This made for nice photos with the areas trees which had already begun to turn colour by mid autumn. The contemporary Vendrome Firefighters' Memorial (1972) was also a memorable monument. In the end, we really enjoyed making our way along the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston. This is a neat place to visit for green space near Newbury Street. We would include another stop here future visits to Boston

I live visiting places like this in person. You can read these brave women's own words inscribed on the stones they are leaning against. I got some good info for my book " Playgrounds, Parks, and Splash Pads: Boston's Past & Present Green Spaces" .

Beautiful walking spot near Copley Square, Boston PubLic Library, NewBURY StReet, Charles River, Public Gardens and SO much more! Even more beautiful in the evening time when the Christmas Lights are up!

So enjoy being able to go to the Commons for a walk any season. Great for pup watching, always clean and filled with folks.

Nestled in between the Northbound and Southbound lanes of Comm Ave in Back Bay, the Comm Ave mall provides a wonderful park experience. Walk through the park and you get to observe some famous statues and art installations. Lots of benches to sit down for a while. You’ll see a lot of people walking their dogs and kids running about. Spring, summer and fall are the best seasons for a stroll here.

Beautiful park along 19th Century townhouses. Saw several statues.

Awesome!

Nice people

Best and prettiest way to get to Boston common park

A great place to relax in the urban jungle. Lot of greenery. Great place to walk/jog/run. Even for spending a leisurely few hours either doing nothing or spending time reading a good book. Good place also for walking your pet.

Instead of taking transit, on one of the days to my trip to Boston, I walked the Common wealth Ave parks. I don't think people give this piece of "The Emerald Necklace" enough credit. Every few steps along this row of parks is a statue, memorial, or dedicated bench. I found "Pokemon Go" to be a useful map while walking along these parks because each pokestop and gym represented one of those three types of sights to see. When I saw gym or pokestop coming up I could click to find a picture of what they were marking and then I would stop my walk to look where I was to try and find it. My favorite piece was a set of statues about significant Boston women. Take a stroll if you can. Not to be missed!

Absolutely delightful walk. We have met some lovely dog owners and have loved our chats with the locals who are very knowledgeable about the history of the mall and trees. We have even met the Friends of the Mall who were removing posters in line with their policy to protect the monuments. Some trees have dedication plagues on the ground next to them. Lily puppy has made many friends. A magical place to celebrate the changing seasons - everyday feels like an adventure.

Many good brands😊

Love

Beautiful mall right in the heart of Back Bay

So beautiful! This turned out to be the highlight of my entire trip to the US - a must see :)

Okay he can work on Saturday 27th to celebrate

Very nice site

The shaded way to walk down Comm.

Very relaxing

Good place to spend time

traffic sucked

Great way to explore the city and see some beautiful buildings!

Great place to take s stroll or walk the dog. Nice place to read a book or just sit & enjoy nature.

I grew up here, and this is one of the main places we used to play. People don't realize that Back Bay was a community with mom and pop stores, schools and kids.

A beautiful place for an evening walk. Safe and and pleasant.

Christmas lights on the trees are very pretty.

Love the concept. A long outdoor park with shops lining it. Close to the library and riverfront

Nice park to take a long walk

(Translated by Google) A beautiful avenue between trees crosses Boston's most beautiful neighborhoods, so I suggest you go for an afternoon stroll. (Original) Μια πανέμορφη λεωφόρος ανάμεσα σε δέντρα να διασχίζει τις ωραιότερες γειτονιές της Βοστόνης, προτείνω να πάτε για έναν απογευματινό περίπατο.

One of the best streets in Boston. Reminds of a street in Lima by the same name.

It was such a lovely November day in Boston and we chose to spend it walking through the parks near Copley Plaza.

One of the best maintained and landscaped Avenue to visit and walk around

This is a very beautiful area! I love the buildings and the way this area was built. There's tons of unique restaurants and shops around to see also.

Love this park. It's one of my favorite spots in Boston, and I've visited this park on most of my trips to the city in the last few years. I'm sure I'll be back on any future trips to Boston.

Master architecture, greenways and happy dogs make for a great stroll.

A beautiful quiet Oasis in the center hustle and bustle. Amazing array of tree species represented by very old stands.

Commonwealth Avenue has charms in all seasons. In Spring the north side is spectacular with Magnolias in bloom. Come visit.

Commonwealth Avenue Mall is a lovely place to sit under the canopy of the trees, relax and enjoy nature, to observe people stroll along the mall, children running around and playing, and to see all manner of activity along Commonwealth Avenue.

Beautiful walk hard to believe sometimes that you're in the city.

it was amazing, so beautiful and refreshing

The Best Street in Boston It gets better everyday , Quality of the Real Estate is like walking back in time . Never to be duplicate ⛳❤ Simply a gem .

A perfect walk... if you don’t plan to shop this is the right route.

Perfect to lazily stroll down on a sunday afternoon with friends.

(Translated by Google) Nice place to walk and clear out for a while. You can walk alone, accompanied by your children and / or pets. Children can run safely because it is fenced on the sides and cannot go out onto the street where the cars are. There are spaces with beautiful monuments, as well as white on the sides to sit and relax under the shade of the trees. (Original) Lindo lugar para caminar y despejarse un rato. Puedes pasear sólo, acompañado de tus hijos y/o mascotas. Los niños pueden correr seguros pues a los lados está cercado y no pueden salir hacia la calle donde estan los autos. Hay espacios con bellos monumentos, así como blanquitas a los costados para sentarse y relajarse debajo de la sombra de los árboles.

Beautiful stretch of Comm Ave. Houses reminded me of Paris.

Okay mall.
