Parking in the city can be an absolute nightmare sometimes but Boston Common Garage was such a relief. This garage is GIGANTIC! I can guarantee you there will always be a spot for you no matter what time of day. Close to the public garden, Newbury, and Boylston streets, it's a quick walk to sightsee! read more

I was actually surprised to find this fairly inexpensive, as far as garages dead in the center of Boston are concerned. I never used to park in garages before last year- I've become more impatient, and slightly more lazy in the recent past, so I've started to use them more often. Always find a spot easily. Usually within 3-5 minutes from the time we grab our ticket, we have pulled into a spot, usually close to the exit too! Almost always forget that they lock all but one entrance late at night. It's the one closest to the entrance you drove into- Garden side. Which makes for a bit more walking, usually late at night, but for all that it is, I think the commons are a bit LESS creepy these days, so I don't mind getting to the next door to get to my car. read more

Easiest garage in downtown. I park here all the time for theater, shopping, events, events at hotels. It's easy in and easy out and always seems to have parking available. Well lit. Being under the Common, it has great access to the financial district, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Chinatown, Theaters, downtown crossing, etc. Pricing isn't much different from any other in-town garage. Honestly, If you don't want to deal with transit or finding a meter- just pay for the parking & leave the stress behind you- go enjoy your activities. It's soooo much easier on the mind for $20+ read more

(score 1-100) - 80. I've parked at many garages in the City and this in one of the cheapest, especially in the corridor of being between the finance district and back bay, beacon hill areas. 11 dollar all day parking on Sundays is a great deal for those visiting from out of town. The BEST DEAL in the city for Snow Emergency parking: Are you ready? Drum roll...only 2 dollars for a 24 hour period! ...yes 2 dollars! Most other garages average 10-12 dollars during snow emergencies. You have to get there early and you may have to hunt around but you can't beat this deal! read more

Attendants were rude and slow, had to wait 15 minutes to pay. With prepaid parking, if you stay after the end time, you have to pay their going rate of $32 for a minute! read more

Easy to find. Ten dollars cheaper than other lots. Walk up to Boston commons park and go where you need to go. read more

Boston Common Garage - Parking Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I can honestly say I like this parking garage. I've never had a problem finding available parking here. No matter what side of the Common I want to park on, there always seems to be an available spot. Also, this facility is cleaned extremely well, even though the stair towers have a tendency to smell a bit foul. You can't always bum-proof your parking facility in a major metropolitan area, now can you? Prices are quite reasonable, especially when compared to other garages in the area. I do like the occaisional security guard in the street-level elevator/stair pavilion. However, a guard in each of them would be ideal. Not to mention posting them there during the evening hours too. Which reminds me. I understand the "safety" aspect of closing all but one of the garage entrances at night. It does make sense. But when it's 1:00 in the morning and I've just finished seeing a movie at the Loews on Tremont Street, the last thing I want to do is walk across the dark Boston Common trying to find the only open entrance to the garage. It's always frightening to see shadows moving towards you in the dark and not knowing whether or not it's a person or some sort of animal. Overall, a great place to park during the day, for a good price. read more

Cheap cheap garage for the weekend. But your stairwells smell like pee pee.

I highly recommend using this garage, although if you at first call Boston Commons the Garden(like I did, realizing that gardens are green and filled with flowers and the commons are also a part of a big form of a garden) you're in for a big surprise once you arrive. The price you pay per day is nominal. With the security and convenience of parking under the first stop of the Freedom Trail, made this garage even more useful. People say a lot how this garage isn't guarded by security, but they aren't being truthful. It is guarded by some trained people. It can just be helped if you leave your stuff out of your car in the first place(or take it with you when you leave.). I highly recommend people use this "City of Boston owned underground parking lot. read more

Who knew there was a parking garage underneath the Boston Common? I certainly didn't. I've parked here a couple times recently when visiting Boston, and I like the convenience of it. Driving is a hassle in Boston, but when I have no choice but to bring my car, this is my parking lot of choice. It's safe and decently lit, and the garage itself is much cleaner than other places that I've parked in Boston. I am one of those people who forgets where they parked their car and gets tragically lost in parking garages, but I've never had any trouble locating my car here. Both times that I parked here, it was for a couple of days with a grand total of $56 each time. For city parking, that's pretty reasonable, I'd say. They offer $11 parking if you arrive after 4 PM and leave before 8 AM, which is a good deal, even though it is one I've never taken advantage of. read more

$10 to park my car all weekend? Deal. Oh, and it's right under the commons, which is centered in the areas I hang out at most (back bay and financial district). There are always spots, and I've parked here on new years eve and st. patty's day. the only down side is if you wanna get to your car between, like 2am and 5am, you can only enter at the "commons" entrance, and you might find yourself a little confused as to where your car is at... but at that point, you might want to reconsider if you should really be driving anywhere anyways... read more

Recommended for the weekend! Especially on Saturday (because meters run 8am-8pm on Saturdays, some areas 6pm). $11 flat rate. How can you beat that!? Located below the Boston Common, entrance is between the Common and the Boston Public Gardens. read more

Parking rates have increased!!! For a little over 3 hours on Saturday night $18.00!!! Too bad this is no longer a place with affordable parking! read more

WARNING Parking Rates increased as of 7/1/2014. Paid $18 for 2-3hrs on a Sunday! read more

It is a little bizarre to have a parking garage beneath the city's biggest public park. But it's quite convenient too! Elevators take you from the lot below to the park above. Pretty cool. You'll always find a spot here. read more

Best place to park in downtown Boston. The great thing about it is that the rates are pretty reasonable, even during weekdays. Also, it's open 24 hours, so if you're out late and had a little too much to drink, it is safe to leave your car there. Surprisingly, this garage is very clean. Another good feature is that the garage is well lit and there's plenty of security. read more

Sort of hidden, this garage is actually below boston common. It's also really cheap on the weekends, if you park after 6 oclock AM saturday morning, and go back before 10 oclock AM sunday it's only 10 bucks. I don't know for sure, but I don't think you can find a cheaper, safer, overnight parking garage in that area, partly because you don't really need to look when it only costs 10 bucks. It's so close to so many other things too like the movies, the theater district, downtown crossing and only a quick walk to fanehuil hall. read more

Clean, good lighting, very accessible, reasonable prices, good size parking spaces. Very good location, central to lots of things. Would recommend and will definitely park here again. Saw no staff at all though, so a little downside. read more

Awesome price!!!!!!!!!! paid ten dollars for all day parking here!!! I felt very safe walking there are night and during the day. Clean, there were plenty of spots. Very cheap and awesome! read more

Boston Common Garage USED to be a great place to park that was reasonably priced but since they've hiked up their prices, it's very expensive now and I no longer park there anymore. They really should have kept the 1hr+ evening rate (after 4pm on weekdays) at $11. If they had, I'd park there gladly. But not anymore. I'm willing to bet a lot of people will be parking elsewhere. Parking in Boston has become ridiculous. Financial rape. read more

The garage was easy to find, clean and secure. Right where we needed to be for the freedom trail. We called in advance to check on availability and the staff was friendly and helpful. read more

The only reason it got one star was because it was a great deal for weekend parking - only $11. We had a softball game on the common and parked around 5. When we returned at 8:30 someone had smashed our back windshield in. So much for the security of needing a ticket to get in. Very disappointed. read more

Parking in Boston is a pain in the wallet. This is the cheapest garage we could find. It is centrally located, underground with easy entrance and exit, lots of parking spots and very clean facility. read more

I used this garage twice in two days. Once was at night and once during the following day. The garage was easy to enter and easy to leave, although leaving the garage at rush hour merging into traffic on Charles was a bit tricky, especially if trying to make a left onto Beacon. I felt safe and secure in the garage and had no worries about my car while there. I would definately use again while in town and would recommend it to others. read more

the best place to park, its close to every thing, reasonably priced, and the officers that patrol it are great, officer matt b. was very helpful and handsome....the garage smells sometimes during the weekends but i see maintanance cleaning it all the time, i think its from the customers (clubbers and concert goers) who dont care. it even has a carwash/detail shop there.. and i think its owned and ran by the state of mass. read more
