"This is a really interesting looking sculpture of a famous name in American history. Unfortunately you cannot get too close to it due to construction work which is a shame. It is still worth visiting and getting a look at from a distance."
"It is a beautiful statue in the Bristol garden. It's made9f bronze, and he sits atop a horse."
"There are not enough adjectives for me to describe this park. It was so beautiful, breathtaking stunning. I had no plans to even go through the park, but on my walking path it had me I got lost in there for easily an hour. It’s amazing how it can be right in the middle of the city and cut everything out. It is so meticulously maintained. every plant is so beautiful. Every tree is so properly pruned. If you’re looking for an escape, I would highly recommend walking through the park. It is so peaceful a great spot for a picnic afternoon lunch"
"Captain Ahab of Ahab's Adventures adding another Washington statue to his photo collection. The fact that you can enjoy this one from so many great sitting spots in the park is a huge bonus!"
"We walked around the Boston Public Gardens enjoying the crisp air, birds and beautiful statues. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall the Gardens are always a wonderful place. To me it is such a gift to have green space in the middle of a thriving city."
