Christopher Columbus Park, on the Boston harbor, is one of America's earliest waterfront parks of the modern era. In the 1970s there was interest by both the public and private sectors in restoring the abandoned waterfront and the City committed public funds for a new waterfront park. he Park’s grassy lawns, trellises, flowerbeds, and abundance of shade trees make it a magnificent space enjoyed by all. The numerous benches, walking paths, and playground ensure that young and old alike can take advantage of all this Park has to offer.

Christopher Columbus Park is truly a neighborhood Park. It was created in 1974, as a result of the determined efforts of a united North End/Waterfront community. In 1999, the Boston Parks and Recreation Department and Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s Office began working with the North End/Waterfront community on a multimillion-dollar park renovation project. This project renewed the fading lawns and made major improvements in several areas of the Park, including expanding the lawn areas, adding a dual-purpose, circular performance area and enlarging the playground.

In July of 2003, Christopher Columbus Park reopened for the continued enjoyment of community residents, visitors, and future generations. Our community has cherished the Park and actively participated in protecting and maintaining these four and a half acres of land on the waterfront.
