Editorial Review for Boston Common – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This 50-acre span of trees, walking paths and athletic facilities is the cornerstone of Boston's Emerald Necklace--a series of tree-lined parks snaking throughout the city. Catch the occasional free concert at the Parkman Bandstand, or visit the monument to the African-American Civil War unit made famous in the movie "Glory." Believed to have opened in 1634, this is considered to be the oldest city park in the U.S.

Let me tell you something about my experience here. It was fun at first. But have you ever had such a frightening experience that you can't perform normal funtions in a social setting anymore? Yeah, I didn't think so. So don't go to this place. As fun it is to share the excitement of the unknown and unexplored with your frinds, ask yourself, is it worth a lifetime of shcokingly terrible drems and ineadequate social skills? I didn't think so. Please do not go to this place. Have you ever had a dream with thousands of babies in wheelchairs who don't move but just look at you and don't blink? Well if you don't want those, then don't go.
