What an amazing view of the Boston skyline! From one spot, you can see the customs house clock, Zakim Bridge, and the masts of the USS Constitution. Park is very open, clean, and green. Very rarely crowded. Dogs are welcome, and have plenty of room to roam freely! And, it's right near the water. Fantastic place to visit.

One of the most beautiful park in East Boston. The city staff is doing a great job maintaining the park. There is a playground for young kids, a boardwalk oversee the water and the city, quite scenic, basketball court full and half, artificial Turf for soccer, benches facing the water. Overall great neighborhood parks

I had the pleasure of visiting this park while I was in Boston, and the view of downtown just had me awestruck! The park was so clean and neat, and there was so much to do! People playing soccer, kids playing on the playground, dogs fetching frisbees out of the lake for their owners. Plus, it was quiet! What a gem!
