Hang out at the Blue Hills Reservation for some outdoor sports and recreation fun. The reservation isn't too far from downtown Boston, and offers a variety of invigorating activities, including camping, fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking, rock climbing, softball, and swimming. There's also ice skating and skiing during the winter months.
In 2010, Billboard named The Comcast Center “the top-grossing amphitheatre of the decade,” and when you see the impressive list of past performances, it's not hard to see why. The Who, Pearl Jam, Rush, James Taylor, Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffet, and The Allman Brothers Band are just a few artists who've graced the stage at this entertainment venue.
Spend some time hanging out in the country's oldest park. The 50-acre Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace park system and is the starting place of the famous Freedom Trail. There are quite a few monuments throughout the park, and several outdoor events take place in the Common throughout the year.
