Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park

Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park review

Ahoy land-lubbers! Kids can wave at the ferries cruising to the Harbor Islands from this nautical-themed park, a short walk away from Faneuil Hall and the North End. There's a big blue and white climbing structure and a beach-sized sandpit, plus spray showers to play in on hot days. The flat ground means easy access for strollers, and the park is part of HarborWalk - so families can stroll to the New England Aquarium without crossing any roads.
