 Urban oasis |
Fenway Park Drive Boston, MA 02115 United States +1 617 635 4505 |
Tucked away on winding roads behind the Museum of Fine Arts is a beautiful park of manicured lawns, bridges, ponds and flower beds. In the summer, the gated Rose Garden explodes into aromatic pink, white, yellow and red. More varied horticulture can be found in the Victory Gardens, a community garden with hundreds of well-tended plots. Cross a few bridges and you will discover the running track, basketball courts and softball fields. No green space in Boston offers a more peaceful oasis. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Romanesque Mother Church of the Christian Science religion is part of the sect's Boston headquarters. Mary Baker Eddy, a New Hampshire native who moved to Boston in 1881, founded the church in 1879. Members spurn modern medicine in favor of prayer-based healing. The church was built in 1894, and the reflecting pool along the building is a relaxing spot for people of all faiths. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Outdoor skating on historic Boston Common |

This concrete formation is a wading pool in summer, but it is its winter incarnation as a 16,000-foot outdoor skating rink that gets the most use. On crisp Boston nights, there may be nothing better than a twirl on the ice beneath the trees of the Boston Common and the lights of downtown skyscrapers. You may even have an audience—crowds often gather on the rail around the pond to watch the skaters glide. Admission: $4 Adults; free for children under 13. Skate rental is $5.
