    Boston's best "little" park. Well manicured grass, clean benches, and healthy live flowers and plants. Also, one of the coolest fountains in the Downtown area.

    This park is a great place to hangout or have a small picnic in summer. There are some great spots where you can click photos. Also as you look around the park, each building has its distinct architecture... its a nice lively place... totally recommended.

    Unfortunately there is no easy, abundant and free parking that I saw but it's definitely a nice calm place that brings serenity especially when one is hustling in the middle of a busy work day. I would recommend walking there. The water fountain is pretty cool and the trees give the perfect shade/scene. There's also a whole lot of benches to sit and enjoy yourself with the nice view.

    I took my boyfriend to Boston to see a Celtics Game for his birthday. We stayed in a hotel around the corner from this park, and discovered it on a walk around the city. It had the best coffee shop there, too! We thoroughly enjoyed spending some time in this park and sipping happily away on our coffees.

    Nice little hideaway in the city.. never too busy to relax/read in the park, or nap in the lawn.. depending on the time, usually late afternoon, there tends to be some interesting group of folks that hangs out there, but they're friendly and social

    Such a beautiful Park to sit down and relax in the heart of Downtown Boston . The park is kept well clean and there’s a trail where you can read different monuments with awesome design’s on them. Would definitely recommend Norman B. Leventhal Park

    Beautiful park to relax and enjoy the scenery. Centrally located to Faneuil Hall and surrounding areas.

  • 5/5 Richard M. 4 months ago on Google • 97 reviews
    A treasure within the city - a true oasis in Financial District. Spring and summer weekdays it is filled with office workers at lunch and weekends it is much quieter with wedding photos and people reading a book. Very convenient parking at Post Office Square parking garage underneath, a 4min walk from Fanuel Hall and Langham Hotel adjacent.

  • 5/5 Emily J. 6 months ago on Google • 72 reviews
    So cute and romantic! The walkway with lights and ivy is gorgeous to walk through even during the day! The fountain is fun and not too noisy. It has plenty of places to sit in the shade and close to parking garages.

  • 5/5 Nurulhuda Mat A. 4 years ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Beautiful park! We were walking to Intercontinental from Union Oyster House and came upon this gem. The kids wanted to see the fountain, and we ended up staying for a "falling tower" game. It was definitely a nice touch to bring some of the indoor games to outdoor scale, lovely idea!

  • 5/5 Dakota S. 2 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous area. It started raining while I was in the city and I found refuge here

  • 5/5 Jay D. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh I love post office square park 🏞️. Post office, restaurant including outdoor dining under tent, and parking garage underground.

  • 5/5 Bonnie R. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful oasis of green space in the business district

  • 4/5 Kimberly M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful little park in the middle of the city landscape. Great place to sneak lunch with friends or coworkers.

  • 5/5 David F. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great oasis right in the middle of downtown boston. They have great water features as well as arbors that are cool and relaxing to sit or walk under even on the hottest of days. I would definitely recommend coming here to take a break whether your sightseeing or just want to get away from your desk. There's also a parking garage underneath this park that is $9 all day on the weekend. You can't beat that in downtown boston.

  • 5/5 Amber 2 years ago on Google
    beautiful park. so fun for kids and lots of benches. our favorite part was the water fountain which was both beautiful and great for my kids to play in.

  • 5/5 Sonia M. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely oasis of green in the city. The question remains though: could the city not afford a peacock?

  • 5/5 ben w. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Walt L. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 YVETTE 2 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful place to visit. Great for a nice walk, many things to do and see within the area. Park by the aquarium garage and put your sneakers on cause your about to get your work out. There's a play area for little ones, you can sit and enjoy the view, you have the aquarium near by, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Restaurants etc.

  • 5/5 Savannah B. 3 years ago on Google
    Very pretty park to walk through or sit and relax.

  • 5/5 John S. 2 years ago on Google
    For some reason there's always a turkey hanging around this little park. The fountains are great when running and no smoking allowed. Great spot for big city selfies and such

  • 4/5 Brendan B. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful little park in the middle of the city. There's a turkey who lives here and I have no idea why or how. But she's always a highlight of a walk through the area.

  • 5/5 Leroy B. 3 years ago on Google
    Clean nice & quiet

  • 5/5 S. “McColorSound” M. 1 year ago on Google
    Although this park is in the middle of the city and on top of an underground parking garage, it is a peaceful and relaxing spot. Some days It will get a little busy with professional photographers doing their photo shooting for engagements, weddings, graduation and more. There is also a coffee shop that is open from Wednesday to Friday only.

  • 5/5 Ryan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Well lit, clean. Fairly close to subway (roughly 10 min walk to green and orange lines). Obviously can be busy during the week and expensive, but on the weekends it's fairly easy to get to and relatively cheap. Open 24-7. Ample parking, I've yet to not find a spot even during the busy times of day during the week.

  • 5/5 Gavin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful and peaceful park. Great little store too.

  • 5/5 Charlotte W. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty little park tucked away in the city. Yoga was happening in the park and the cafe was packed. Spent some time reading on the benches with the fountain in the background.

  • 5/5 Rich B. 1 year ago on Google

    Awesome spot for the summer months. Working people's favorite lunch spot. Greenery is amazing. And no squirrels, as in the public garden. Just birds.

    Great park in the middle of downtown! It’s generally quiet during the day and there is a good variety of seating. There’s and ivy covered trellis and a fountain too.

    Just passing through but it looked clean and inviting. Nice enough to observe bridal parties having professional photos taken. The weather was lovely.

  • 5/5 Marc L. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a beautiful little park which sort of emerges to surprise the unsuspecting pedestrian with its well-tended greenery and trellises. It's a great spot to sit and catch your breath, find a moment of calm, or take a relaxing lunch.
