Boston Common was established in 1634, making it the oldest public park in the United States. This beautiful public park has been the site of many historic events: it served as a British army camp during the Revolutionary War, the Boston Bread Riots of 1713 centered on Boston Common, and it saw large gatherings of anti-slavery demonstrators in the run up to the American Civil War and anti-war protests during the Vietnam War. Martin Luther King Jr., Pope John Paul II, and President George W. Bush have all given speeches to large audiences at Boston Common. In addition, this sprawling park features a large grassy area used for events, baseball diamonds, and a frog pond with a winter ice skating rink. Boston Public Garden to Boston Common’s immediate west features 24 acres of botanical gardens and swan ponds.
