The oldest public park in the United States (1634), a green anchor at the start of the Freedom Trail with a Frog Pond, playgrounds, and the Public Garden next door.

Know before you go

  • In winter the Frog Pond becomes an outdoor ice rink; in summer it's a splash pad for kids.
  • Walk through to the adjoining Public Garden to see the famous swan boats and the Make Way for Ducklings statues.
  • It's the literal starting point of the Freedom Trail: a natural place to begin a downtown walk.
  • Ringed by Beacon Hill's brownstones on one side, worth a short detour to see the gas-lit streets.
