Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park was originally opened as part of the 1976 United States Bicentennial celebration, located within Boston's North End district. The charming park is known as one of the city's best family-friendly park areas, offering an excellent children's playground with climbing structures and a crow's nest. A rose garden creates beautiful scenery against the backdrop of the city's nearby waterfront. Across the street, visitors can ride the Greenway Carousel for a nominal fee throughout the summer months. Nearby, Faneuil Hall is home to vendors selling food and goods for lovely park picnics. Visitors should note that the park can become crowded with families during peak times and should schedule visits for mornings or evenings to avoid crowds.
