The Boston Common was "common" property to the early residents of the city back in the 1600's. In fact, cattle even grazed there.
Now, the 44-acre park has more leisurely uses. The swan boat rides probably are the most famous example of that; it's a great tradition in the city. The tourists line up and wait for quite a while to take a slow, brief ride on the lake of the grounds. As you'd expect, little kids like it, and parents and adults like it. But the teenagers might find it a little, um, slow.
