Great area to take a walk, also if you skate or do agressive/street online they have a skate park behind the education building. I personally went for a walk and take photos since I am a photographer and trying to add more prints to my online store. Was a very successful walk.

This place is one of my favorite places in Boston to visit at night and have a peaceful time near the water without leaving the city. The place is amazing if you want to spend time with your significant other and want to cuddle and sit on the bench and gaze at the city lights, the water, and the famous Zaikem bridge. This location is also stunning for night time photography. Just a heads up tho, parking is hard to find around the area and you may need to go around the block a few times before finding a spot

Nice park across the street from the Museum of Science . We have active kids so the play ground and sprinklers allowed the kids to burn off some energy around lunch time. Picnic tables were well cared for. The park is run by DCR. Only down side no rest rooms on site so go at the museum before going over.

Delightful open space with bike paths, good scenery, even some interesting bird life. Ive never had any issue with the park being too crowded. Inly complaint is that it can be a little noisy, especially with a nearby drawbridge siren

While literally in the middle of the intersection between Boston and Cambridge this can be a heaven for relaxing, jogging, playground seekers train and boat watching. Plenty of space for picnics. From here Charlestown is a quick walk away. Parking is very limited though.

Nice place along the river. Grassy area for frisbee or drum circles or whatever you kids are into these days. Water fountain nearby if you need refreshment after discussing social justice and wealth inequality.

A nice Sunny day to relax in the park. It is a relatively new park with a skate park and a bridge to Paul Revere park in the North end. Expect lots of noises and loud horns from boats trains bridges and air-lift helicopters.

This is a very nice park, even hidden away under the highway. The play structures are diverse and plentiful. The lawn area is lovely, as is the proximity to the water. The walking paths are well-maintained and wide, allowing plenty of room for runners and walkers.

Its so great how the area has developed and evolved over time. This is a wonderful park to come for a wall because it has a tremendous view of the city and it has a kiddy playground and a skate park for the active guys/gals. Very beautiful place and I highly recommend coming here for a peace of mind.

This is one if my favorite parks in the city to visit at night. During the day its busy, at night its mostly empty and has beautiful views. Its beautifully maintained and on hot nights it usually offers a cool breeze and relaxing atmosphere. You can fish, walk around and even visit a piece of the Berlin wall.

This is a terrific example of successful urban planning. This park is tricky to find (across the street from the Museum of Science) but worth it! Three different kinds of playgrounds for children of all ages plus a terrific splash park ....on the waterway used by the Duck Boats....next to a great Skate Park....lots of grassy space for lounging. This park offers great views of the nearby Zakim Bridge and the Boston skyline. On street metered parking is limited but worth the wait. Bring a picnic lunch - tables available as well! Walking and biking trails as well! Dont miss this one.

Duck Tour at Charles River. City tour by semi water-road tourist vehicle. Very cool tour. which travels through the downtown area of Boston city. Its history goes back to the 17 th century. Old big buildings. Active involvement in the American freedom war. Majestic appearance and beauty in the downtown is unchallengeable.

This park is easily our favorite park in Boston. Great playground for all ages. Open fields to have a catch or just run around. Plenty of shady trees to rest under. Duckboats going in and out of the river. Drawbridge going up and down. Walkable to the Charles river Dam and locks for more fascination. Skate park for watching or enjoying. Just so much to do!

Beautiful park, you can relax and play with your kids at playground. The design of the park is awesome with small bridges. I have seen many people doing canoe and kayak into the creeks. You can take quite good photos of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge. There are only two things that I dont like here. There is no place to buy something to eat or drink and the second is that the terrain of playground is needed some repairs, so be cautious with your kids.

This is a pretty park, I think a recent development of what used to be a dock or loading zone or something. It doesn’t have a ton of character (yet), being a recent development surrounded by high rises and office buildings, but it’s still peaceful, with a nice walkway along the riverside.

Nice paved paths for a run. Small park, but paths loop so you can run riffs on a figure-eight pattern and enjoy the waterfront views. Lots of flat grassy field space for dogs or acrobatics or frisbee. Pretty landscaping.
