4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2012

Boston is a seaport and one of the best places to see that is the scenic park located between the harbor and Boston's North End. A cool spot to catch some sun and watch boats in the harbor, with plenty of places to get something to eat or drink. Just steps from The Rose Kennedy Greenway and the Quincy Market... More

Christopher Columbus park is located on the outskirt of two sections of Boston; the North End and the financial section. Workers and N.E. neighbors make this park a delightful spot for lunch or people watching. You can catch a sea breeze on the lawn or watch the ferries depart. Plenty of lunch spots on the fringes.

If you want to spent a quiet evening after visiting the Boston aquarium, this is the place to be. There is nothing much in the park except that it is quiet and you will enjoy the walk under the shade of creepers. The statue of Christopher Columbus is magnificent and a photographer's delight to capture it with blue sky background

Christopher Cloumbus Park is where the ferry and private boats enter Boston. It's a great place to stroll, sit and watch the boats , have a bite to eat, or get a drink. There is a Marriott right there. Outside seating in nice weather makes it 5 star.... You can walk to major attractions from there..Fanuiel hall, North End, etc.... More

What a nice park this is with beautiful views of Boston harbor. The park was very clean and well kept - no trash, the grassy lawn areas were lush and well taken care of. There was a... More
