You want me to pick ONE?
How cruel. ;)
If we're talking 'the Boston area', I'd have to say Mt. Auburn; if you mean 'within the city limits', Forest Hills.
I love the art in the old downtown burying grounds, but the amount of tourist-dodging required puts a kink in the ambience. But, I haven't been to Copps Hill yet....

Mine is, hands down, Forest Hills. I live across the street from the secret entrance and I often ramble around the woods behind the park.
My great grandfather, who came here from Scotland, is also buried in FH just over the hill from my house; I had no idea he was even nearby until I happened to wander past on one of the paths one day and recognized the name. I go to say hello as often as possible, and we have nice conversations ; )

I have never been in there but now I think I am going to have to make a trip! That is so cool that you found someone you know in there and can visit :-)

I visited Forest Hills for the first time today, and it is now definitely my favorite. I spent about 4 hours there,and feel like I just scratched the surface of what it has to offer..
Mount Auburn is great too, I need to get back there. I only went once, had someone with me who was not much of a walker, and I was completely new to photography at the time so most of my shots sucked..:)
