Norman B Leventhal Park

Amazing place. Wonderful service and the food was so good!!!

Pretty little park across the street from my office and it super clean and pristine with benches and an open walkway. Pleasing to the eye and very serene.

I don’t have rights to give low marks to places where the nature rules the world — trees, grass, flowers, nature is cool at all and norman b leventhal park isn’t exception)

The greatest park of all time. This place is spotless, and I am in love with the free cushions in the summer (so you don’t get grass stains) and the book cart. The live music is great too, although I can’t say anyone actually listens to it. Everyone’s too busy people-​watching and sunning themselves.
It gets fairly crowded in the summer, but there are so many places to sit (on the grass, on benches, on other benches, on the low gray wall surrounding the park) that it never feels claustrophobic.
I’ve never been, but they also have free exercise classes in the morning (at the crack of dawn — oof) and after work.

Beautiful little square surrounded by gorgeous gardens and buildings with great classic architecture. The gardens feature some stunning magnolia trees.

Nice park. Coffee shop and grass to sit in when it’s nice. No homeless people. Only two stars because you can’t smoke in parks.

My apartment is right by this park, so I come here all the time in nice weather to read a book, do some work, and the likes. Be aware this is right across from the bars in fanuiel hall which get REALLY loud at night with lots of loitering outside. So if you want to visit the Holocaust walk, do it during the day or else it will be ruined by drunk college kids screaming and smoking just feet away. The only negative thing about the walk-​through memorial is it DOES smell, especially in the summer– they are semi-​enclosed with mist straying which is beautiful, however it’s very clear from the odor that’s often present some people use it as a bathroom, which is so disrespectful.

This a a beautiful downtown Boston mini park. It is kept nearly spotlessly clean — which is really impressive given it’s near downtown crossing location. During good weather months there are cushions and books available to use for free. There is also a brand new fountain at the end closest to Fanueil Hall and Sip (a little coffee+ shop) at the other end. And, there is a very nice parking garage right below it. They’ve also started offering workout classes in the mornings and there are sometimes musicians during lunch hours. Great stuff!

PO Square is a beautiful park in the middle of the financial district. It is impeccably maintained. When the weather is warm I like to go have my lunch here and relax for a few. There are many benches, but it does get very crowded around lunch time.

This is a great ‘urban park’ with versatile sittable non-​benches along the walking paths, some nice fountaintry (certainly not a word), and overall a pretty swell option for enjoying some Casa Razdora lunch, regardless of the weather.

Garage with bathrooms! Very safe and affordable!

This is such a great little park. A respite for the weary office worker seeking out a small patch of nature on which to enjoy their lunch. Situated a short walk from Quincy Market or the Jewelry District. Such a nice place, if you’re in the area, stop by with your lunch!

Quite possibly the nicest parking garage I’ve ever been in, and we parked at 8 pm on Friday until 11 on Sunday for a redonkulously low price of $ 26. Even the columns of the garage are simply decorated with stencils of blue and yellow flowers. Situated under the exquisite Post Office Square park, and right next to the Langham Hotel where we stayed. I’m sure weekday prices are higher, but this is the place to park on weekends for easy walking to North End, downtown Crossing, the Commin, the Aquarium, Faneuil Hall and more.

Well, folks — allow Post Office Square to teach you how to Park.
Plenty of lovely green grass upon which to sit. Clean, well-​maintained sidewalks with benches and trash cans conveniently placed. Tiered landscape offers ledges on which to sit. They keep a library cart handy so that you can have something to read while you sit and enjoy your lunch, in case you forgot to bring your book. Most importantly, there’s a big gigantic cart full of cushions that you can grab and sit on so your pre Labor Day whites don’t get all grass stained while you eat your hoagie and read Harry Potter!
If Toby Keith weren’t a redneck jerk, he would have sang «I Love This Park».

Beautiful little patch of a park with a fountain among tall industrial buildings. Great place to cool off and sit on the grass for a bit!

Very nice park in the city and close to many food options. Makes me wish I worked downtown

Looking for a city center oasis that paints a pretty decent modernization of Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte? Look no further, obscure art reference-​getter.
PO Square is meticulously designed and stunningly maintained, with grassy knolls, an Ayn Rand-​approved fountain, benches shaded by arching trees and ivy-​bound trellises and a cornucopia of financial tarts looking to eHarm IRL. LOL JK SRSLY.
During the summer, when parks are meant to shine, it does just that. Free midday mini-​concerts from jazz trios, complimentary cushions to prevent grass-​stained tushies and an honor system book cart for when you’ve just gotta get Grishamed!
Interestingly, I’ve never been to the onsite snack bar (Sip Café) for their sundries, usually because I’m packing ‘wich from any of the billion nearby lunch purveyors. But, yknow, it’s not like I won’t be back anytime I’m in the gray, skeletal wasteland surrounding it. I mean, look at all the buildings!
Kudos to you, Norman B. Leventhal, and the park you’ve lent your name to, even though nobody calls it that. Sorry brah.

I love the water fountain here! Very quick walk from Government Center if you’re looking for a beautiful place to escape the city.

Best part of working downtown in the summer. Bring a picnic, better yet — go to Rock Sugar Café for some yummy Thai and get it to go. Bring it here and have a lovely lunch out in the sun. They have seat cushions for you to borrow so you don’t get your butt dirty on the grass — just remember to put it back. You can sit in the shade or sun. There are also benches scattered about. Sip Café right there also has sandwiches and they serve ice cream and sorbet at their stand during the summer months. Great place to eat with friends, people watch, or read a book. Sometimes there are activities like live music during the day.

Total hidden gem. It’s gorgeous, well kept up, and lovely all year round.

I would consider PO Square one of the best hidden gems in town. It is located right in the middle of the financial district. During lunch there is some of the best people watching in town. There is a great coffee shop there and they hand out these pillow pads for everyone to sit on the grass.

Um, nobody told me that Post Office Square was pretty now… Not cool, guys. Not cool.
It’s a beautiful green oasis dead in the center of millions of tall buildings. I’m jealous I don’t work around here, cause I’d easily become a regular. Must be a great place to enjoy a summer lunch!
Clean benches line a covered walkway, which I can imagine is a likely photo-​op, or great place for those of whom forgot their SPF coverage.
A little kid was running around in the fountain last night having a grand olé time. My friend said I should hope she forgets it’s there, cause we frequent bars down the street, and in the warm summer nights she would want to run through the fountains too, and by this, I think she means push me into it…
Well done, Boston park making people! I’m impressed!
We were still talking about how nice it was while getting drinks across the street, and our bartender said at night it’s all lit up and very romantic. He suggested we stop by again when the sun is down.

People… People! This is called the GREEN BEACH. Although I actually just got the whole Busch Gardens joke and touché my friend. When the grass isn’t being aerated (which for some reason they do approx 10x/​year) you can lounge on the lush grass, plus you don’t have to worry about staining your Theory suit (maybe BB for the guys) because they provide little cushions to sit on. If you opt not to sit on the grass, there are tons of benches and walls to sit on.
Be sure to bring your aviators because you’re about to do some serious people watching/​staring. Sometimes… only sometimes, the Jesus guy with all of the offensive posters will wander over from North Station to babble nonsensically in the middle of the green. The only thing funnier than this is watching the security guard try to kick him out. All the while, there’s a string band (harp included) playing for your musical enjoyment.
This meat market is packed with Boston’s finest young professionals. So, get out of whatever sales meeting you have; this is where the true «prospecting» in Boston takes place.
