Parks in Boston

Charles River Esplanade

A long, leafy waterfront park stretching along the Charles River with jogging and cycling paths, lawns, playgrounds, and kayak launches plus skyline and sailboat views. The Hatch Memorial Shell hosts free summer concerts and movies, including the famous July 4th Boston Pops fireworks. Practical note: it's a great spot for a sunset stroll, and pedestrian footbridges connect it over Storrow Drive from Back Bay.
