Park it: Burn off some of their steam while you hatch a plan

Imagine with us: You are now standing in Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. This park on it’s own is a great destination in Boston. There’s a playground, room to throw a frisbee, a hibiscus covered trellis, and a water fountain made specifically for cooling off hot kids.

The other great thing about this park is it’s location. It’s on the ocean, on the edge of the North End, across the street from the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, and moments from Faneuil Hall. All you have to do now is decide which way to go.
