Its true park status seems to have emerged no later than 1830, when the grazing of cows was ended and renaming the Common as "Washington Park" was proposed. Renaming the bordering Sentry Street to Park Place (later to be called Park Street) in [[Fallout timeline#1804|1804]] acknowledged the reality. By 1836 an ornamental iron fence fully enclosed the Common and its five perimeter malls or recreational promenades, the first of which, Tremont Mall, had been in place since [[Fallout timeline#1728|1728]], in imitation of [[W:St. James's Park|St. James's Park]] in [[London]].<ref name="Wikipedia"/>

It was here he finally lost his mind to his [[Mutations and their causes|mutation]],<ref>[[Swan's note]]</ref> eventually creating armor from the [[swanboat]]s of the pond and developed into a [[Institute super mutant#Behemoth|behemoth]].

Visit this once-idyllic park surrounded by ancient architectural prewar mansions and the remains of the State House, but be warned; there are numerous signs recommending you stay away from the pond at the park’s west end. Perhaps it’s better to start investigating the thin red line still visible along much of the sidewalks, a trail leading you through some of the most famous historical structures still (partly) standing. Surrounded by five other neighborhoods, Boston Common is at the nexus of the city south of the river."''<br/>([[Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map]])</ref>
