Atlantic Avenue, between Commercial Wharf and Long Wharf near Boston's Faneuil Hall neighborhood. The grassy park features a play lot, a statue of Christopher Columbus, a fountain, and a rose garden. A wisteria covered trellis provides shade and spray showers are perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Dogs: Frequented by North End dog owners, this waterfront park is characterized by open grassy lawns. On hot summer days, the public can duck into the spray from the fountain built for that purpose. Dogs must be on leash.
The activity at this playground is centered around a large climbing structure. There are ladders, slides, and spots to hide from your buddies. The play area is fenced and parents can relax and watch the action from the relative calm of the benches. There are no swings, so you might find that kids over six or seven feel this park's a little dull. It's definitely geared toward the younger set.
North End parents in the know comment that this park can become really crowded. Because of its great location, it's a big field trip destination. If you don't want your kids to get "lost in the crowd," consider going early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
