Boston Public Garden and Boston Common offer flat paved walkways that make great places for
family walking, baby carriage, or wheel chair.  The spring flowers including
tulips bloom during the third to
fourth week in
April.  Many other flowering trees, magnolias included, bloom in the park and on the side
street around the park
The two parks, Boston Common and Boston Public Garden are in the same location connected by a
pedestrian crosswalk.  The paved walkways of Boston Common, once a pasture for local cows,  connect to
the flowered and tree-lined paths of the Boston Public Garden, famed for the Swan Boats and spring
flowers.
April starts the Magnolias and flowering trees and by the third week in April the tulips are in full bloom.
Just  beside
Boston Public
Garden on
Beacon Street you
can visit Cheers
Pub for a nostalgic
brew at the bar
amid all the
memorabilia from
the famed TV
comedy.
