I will be there. I can provide a free round trip ride for two additional people from the Leominster, Fitchburg, Westminster, Lancaster, Clinton area. I will park at Alewife Station and take the T (you pay your subway fare) to Park St. Please PM me if interested.
is there sufficient parking at alewife? I may do the same, coming from the same area as you but have a ride already
What would be the best place to park for someone who is unfamiliar with the city? Coming in on the pike.
The "best" place as far as access would probably be the parking garage that runs under the Common itself.
I prob should have added that i drive a long pickup truck... How tight is that garage? I usually have to take 2 spots diagonal.

Who is going in to Riverside to take the T? Perhaps a carpool in from Worcester area would be in the cards.

Go to GoogleMaps and search for "Parking near Boston Common". Those are all the parking lots / garages in the area. It'll give you some more choices incase some are ful.
Let's see:
toll: 1.50
T: 4.00 (2 each way)
parking: 5
That is 10.50 each, and it takes about 2 hours to reach your destination, using the T.
Driving in, you get there in about an hour and ten minutes, and are pretty close to final destination for a couple bucks more. The only problem is you have to drive in Boston, which usually stinks.
