About Boston and its oldest park

Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1630 on the Shawmut Peninsula. Boston Common, established in 1634, is the first public park in the country and sits at the edge of the downtown district. Around it you will find the State House, the Freedom Trail and a dense mix of historic brick buildings and modern glass towers that together shape the skyline.

What to watch and when

The view is most rewarding in the late afternoon, when the low sun lights up the towers, and again after dark when office windows and street lights come on. Depending on the framing, you may see people walking across the park, seasonal activity on the grass in warmer months and changing colours in autumn. Weather matters a lot here, so fog, rain or snow can change the scene quickly.

Practical notes and nearby cameras

Boston has a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, so spring and early autumn are the most comfortable times to visit. The park is easy to reach on foot from downtown and from the Park Street subway station. Nearby on VizCams are a live camera in the West End, a view of the Charles River and a weather camera also along the river.
