We're celebrating LOVE in the Parks. Do you have a favorite moment, story, or photo from time spent in the Common, Garden, or Mall? Submit your #MeaningfulMoment for a chance to be featured on our social media and website through the week of Valentine's Day! What does love look like to you - whether it's a proposal, a first date, a special day with your friends, family, or furry friends, we want to see your photos and hear your stories!
Valentine's Day will look a little different this year. Last year we would be walking through the Public Garden on the way to a dinner date, dashing across the Common to meet friends after work for a drink, or taking our extended family on a weekend tour of the statues on Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Valentine's Day 2021 is a celebration of meaningful moments, and our parks continue to be a backdrop for so many of those moments. #LoveIsLove
