Known forwaterfrontharborNorth Endscenic
A compact, beautifully maintained harborfront park at the edge of the North End with sweeping views of Boston Harbor and the Rose Kennedy Greenway nearby. The trellis-covered rose garden and harbor benches make it a perfect spot to decompress after a meal on Hanover Street. It gets crowded on summer weekends and the lawn space is limited, so arrive early for a good bench.
