Absolutely delightful walk. We have met some lovely dog owners and have loved our chats with the locals who are very knowledgeable about the history of the mall and trees. We have even met the Friends of the Mall who were removing posters in line with their policy to protect the monuments. Some trees have dedication plagues on the ground next to them. Lily puppy has made many friends. A magical place to celebrate the changing seasons - everyday feels like an adventure.

The Best Street in BostonIt gets better everyday , Quality of the Real Estate is like walking back in time . Never to be duplicate Simply a gem .

A perfect walk... if you don’t plan to shop this is the right route.

Beautiful stretch of Comm Ave. Houses reminded me of Paris.

Instead of taking transit, on one of the days to my trip to Boston, I walked the Common wealth Ave parks. I dont think people give this piece of The Emerald Necklace enough credit. Every few steps along this row of parks is a statue, memorial, or dedicated bench. I found Pokemon Go to be a useful map while walking along these parks because each pokestop and gym represented one of those three types of sights to see. When I saw gym or pokestop coming up I could click to find a picture of what they were marking and then I would stop my walk to look where I was to try and find it. My favorite piece was a set of statues about significant Boston women. Take a stroll if you can. Not to be missed!

The Commonwealth Avenue Mall is a narrow strip of open green space stretching between the Boston Public Garden and Massachusetts Avenue. It reminded us of the Golden State Park Panhandle in San Francisco.This mall, was designed in the mid 19th century by Arthur Gilman, who took inspiration from Parisian boulevards and the green squares of London when devising the plans for the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.Here you will find a single straight footpath running the length of the mall, taking in a handful of historic sculptures and monuments and endless rows of tall trees, on both sides, providing shade to walkers and those who rest upon the mall benches.Monuments that we enjoyed seeing in particular include that of Bostonian Samuel Eliot Morison (1982) casually seated upon a roughly edged granite rock. This made for nice photos with the areas trees which had already begun to turn colour by mid autumn. The contemporary Vendrome Firefighters Memorial (1972) was also a memorable monument.In the end, we really enjoyed making our way along the Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston. This is a neat place to visit for green space near Newbury Street. We would include another stop here future visits to Boston

Great place to walk n see history

One of the best streets in Boston. Reminds of a street in Lima by the same name.

It was such a lovely November day in Boston and we chose to spend it walking through the parks near Copley Plaza.

One of the best maintained and landscaped Avenue to visit and walk around

This is a very beautiful area! I love the buildings and the way this area was built. Theres tons of unique restaurants and shops around to see also.

Love this park. Its one of my favorite spots in Boston, and Ive visited this park on most of my trips to the city in the last few years. Im sure Ill be back on any future trips to Boston.

Master architecture, greenways and happy dogs make for a great stroll.

Commonwealth Avenue Mall is a lovely place to sit under the canopy of the trees, relax and enjoy nature, to observe people stroll along the mall, children running around and playing, and to see all manner of activity along Commonwealth Avenue.

A beautiful quiet Oasis in the center hustle and bustle. Amazing array of tree species represented by very old stands.

Loved it for its individual attention.

Commonwealth Avenue has charms in all seasons. In Spring the north side is spectacular with Magnolias in bloom. Come visit.

Perfect to lazily stroll down on a sunday afternoon with friends.

Okay he can work on Saturday 27th to celebrate

Beautiful way to walk through Boston!

The shaded way to walk down Comm.

So beautiful! This turned out to be the highlight of my entire trip to the US - a must see :)

Walking down the Comm Ave Mall path transports you into a serene oasis amidst the surrounding urban environment. The entire path is adorned with the pristine, beautifully lit trees, perfect for bringing a date or just enjoying a peaceful stroll. No matter the season, this has always been one of my favorite places to walk. If youre visiting Boston, this is a must-visit, especially for the wonderful pictures that you can take.

Lots of dog walkers here. Please walk your bike. Theres no crosswalk markings in the middle of the block where the paths lead, so use caution when crossing (and expect having to weave between stopped cars sometimes).

Great way to explore the city and see some beautiful buildings!

Great for a stroll.

Beautiful mall right in the heart of Back Bay

Lovely saunter up comm ave. Wide stretch crunching thru autumn leaves. Take a little rest on a brnch with the sun warming your back. Perfect November Sunday afternoon.

Such a beautiful path to walk through. I dont live in the area but I love walking down the Mall when I get the chance. Its gorgeous around the holidays because they put up lights and the snow is beautiful. Definitely take a stroll down the canopied some time.

This narrow mall runs down Commonwealth Avenue and just a couple streets away from Newbury Street. It’s remarkable how close both are to each other yet it’s a completely different vibe. For a city this size Boston has done well to incorporate enough green to provide refuge from the hustle and bustle.

This strip of grass between two busy roads is surprisingly nice. Emerald green grass (in the nicer months) leafy trees, and people walking dogs or playing soccer next to the many statues and monuments. Its nice to be able to cross the street in the middle of the city and be in a bit of a park.

Beautiful long walk in the Mall which is maintained so well one can feel that they should visit the Mall more frequently.

Great for a run or walk. Great fall colors!

I love history

A magical mile through beautiful Back Bay of Boston. Tree lights during winter, gorgeous when spring finally shows up.

Many good brands

The Commonwealth Avenue Malls are a stunning piece of civic infrastructure, anchoring one of the most beautiful collections of historic architecture in the city. This is a great path to simply stroll aimlessly if only to admire the surrounding aesthetic.

Good place to spend time

Great mall. Unique stores.

Ive walked up and down here a few times. Theres some nice views. Its easy to find and get to. Theres a lot of benches to sit in and plenty of room to walk so you never feel too crowded. Some cool statues and stuff to look at. Definitely worth checking out and walking around on a summer or fall day. Its near the commons and newbury street. Overall its a very nice walk and will probably end up walking down it again.

A beautiful walk in the city. The Mall is a great spot for those who live in BBY--I love walking down it on my way to and home from work and watching the seasons go by. Great area for kids to run around, for dog walkers, for people who want to sit on a park bench for lunch or to read, for historians (some really lovely monuments). A nice, less crowded alternative to walking down Newbury.

Beautiful park with lots to see. A classic way to immerse yourself into Boston.

Really nice

Beautiful park, open to all, with benches, large shade trees and 19th century townhouses

Nice place to walk with variety sculptures which are dedicated for different events and persons of Boston history.
