About this place Boston Common

Boston Common is the big public park between Tremont Street and Beacon Hill. Histories of gay Boston list it, with the Back Bay Fens, as one of the city's old cruising grounds, which is why it appears here. It's also where Boston Pride ends each June. Today it's a crowded park full of commuters, tourists and families, and we have no reliable current reports of active cruising. Rangers and police patrol it, and there have been individual lewdness arrests. Public sex can be charged under G.L. c. 272, s. 16, a felony in Massachusetts. Treat the Common as a place to walk through, not a destination; the apps and the South End bars are where men actually meet.

Awesome lung space in the middle of the city. Absolutely lush green and great location to walk, run or just laze. Options include soft lawns, lovely park benches and large shady trees. Take ur pick.
