    This is one of the most beautiful parks in Boston to view the skyline. It extends far and has small parks included. I recommend coming during dark for even better views to see the nightlife of Boston.

    great little walking area in Boston. Views are great, lots of paved (some cobble) areas as well as green spaces to hang. Grab a coffee and take a walk!

    Extra Wide Sidewalks! Lots of room for humans, doggies, etc alike~ to enjoy the outdoors I visited during spring time with pretty pink flowering trees blooming Views of the harbor and city provide a gorgeous backdrop for your walk along the harbor

    Would have been good.. but when we arrived there was one guy there with 20+dogs going crazy. Couldn't even bring my dog in to go poo. Shame on the dog walking company for taking over this place. Most places limit the dogs or the number of dogs per person.

    Nice beach front park and pier. Several restaurant are within walking distance. Stairs to upper deck provides a better view from the top. There is a small pier with boats. People are eating lunch during lunch hour or strolling the walkway to enjoy the ocean breeze and the view.

    Nice little walk next to the Boston harbor. Highly recommend visiting here during night time. There are only handful of street parking nearby. Taking pubic transportation is advised.

  • 5/5 Bostons Best Dog W. 4 years ago on Google
    We love A St. Dog Park!!!

  • 4/5 Sean F. 4 years ago on Google
    Small local park, yet packed with amenities. Half court for basketball, an enclosed dog park, and a smallish playground for young children all fit easily on this small footprint. Benches for sitting are located everywhere else. Other than the dog park, everything here is severely underutilized by the public. Recently renovated.

  • 4/5 Robert S. 3 years ago on Google
    Big space but limited equipment for kids, not great for under 4

  • 3/5 Melissa Straus Di C. 5 years ago on Google
    This dog park is gravel-based and well kept, it's just quite small. Biggest downside is that there is a dog walking company that brings a bunch of dogs here in the afternoons with just 1 or 2 "walkers" who are not paying much attention to their dogs.

  • 4/5 David H. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice, somewhat small, gravel dog park with a dog fountain and two poop bag stations which were actually stocked with bags. Gravel is also fine/small so both my dogs were able to run around without slipping.

  • 5/5 Gabriel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing view of the city and Harbour, great walk along the River

  • 4/5 John Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice here clean good views

  • 5/5 Ken E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to relax - a leisurely walk or just sit and watch the boats pass by

  • 5/5 Miguel Rodríguez G. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning day and night views of the Boston slyline! This is a very nice walk along the bay side that also has many places to sit (proper chairs and tables) and relax. If you're on a tight budget, you can bring your food and still enjoy the beautiful view and great atmosphere! Busy on the weekends!

  • 4/5 Liming C. 11 months ago on Google
    Fan Pier Park a good place to chill. Have cruise ship stop there and from time to time they let people get on and check the ships out! Parking is scarce!

  • 5/5 John M. 4 years ago on Google
    Came at night. It was beautiful. One spot had a wedding recept. Another had a fire with people around it. It was almost other worldly. So beautiful. Didn't get to many parts of Boston, but I am very happy we came to this spot. Will be back for sure!

  • 5/5 Alan K. 5 months ago on Google
    Really nice place to stroll along and sit around. Great views to Boston cityscape, especially at night. Lightings should be more at night, though.

  • 5/5 Lion R. 5 months ago on Google
    Great area to walk around Family walk around the area after dinner and really enjoyed it and felt completely safe and comfortable Would recommend

  • 4/5 James A. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice views and also great if you want to grab your laptop/coffee/tablet and read at a table and watch the boat traffic pass by. No parks other than green space, but the large chunky steps and aluminum tables with seating were all over. Great people watching potential.

  • 5/5 Karim El S. 6 months ago on Google
    I loved the morning walk and run with a sea view 😍

  • 5/5 Sai K. 3 years ago on Google
    Note: do not park in garages in buildings. They’re super expensive. Paid $31 for 20mins. Try to park on road at parking meters

  • 5/5 Mike W. 3 years ago on Google
    Fan Pier has amazing views into the Boston skyline and in the evening is not very busy.

  • 5/5 Mayur B. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place for the incredible and breathtaking views of the Boston Skyline

  • 5/5 Michelle N. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to walk. Felt safe during the daytime. Best thing I did all day was to grab a coffee from Starbucks and enjoy the view. Really nice place to go for pictures or long talks and enjoy lunch. It will be good to unwind after A day or shopping in the area. Some really good bars and restaurants in walking distance.

  • 5/5 Robert D. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best views in Boston. Get some food on a sunny day and sit outside watching the ocean... so peaceful and beautiful.

  • 5/5 Fernando J. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Abdul Halim E. 3 years ago on Google
    Unique & classic waterfront.

  • 5/5 Sudhashree G. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to get a good and clear view of Boston skyline. It's beautiful and just 20 minutes walk from Quincy market. We took a bike from quincy market and rode here on a very fine sunny day. It was beautiful.

  • 5/5 Tere G. 3 years ago on Google
    You get the best vantage point of the city from this park. It’s right by eateries and another park not too far from it. I keep coming back here every time I’m in the area. It hasn’t been too crowded since Covid, so it’s nice. You can take nice photos of the skyline at night and it’s just as nice during the day. It tends to get a little chilly at night even in the summer time so it’s nice to walk along here after a hot humid day. Parking is limited on the street, but it’s possible. Lately, it’s been hard to find parking, so you may have to park at a garage. I suggest parking a little further to avoid paying a lot for parking.

  • 5/5 Kelly H. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful location & scenery ❤️

  • 5/5 Scott S. 6 years ago on Google

    it's amazing spot to take a walk, take photo, a rest

  • 5/5 jay p. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent public park with mordern seating area and a fantastic view. The park was just renovated and now features a water fall. It's is amazing in the day and even better at night with luminous lighting. This small park is around bunch of dinner places and bars. parking is free at night time after 8:00pm but will cost money to park in the morning at a nearby parking spots. I have attached some pictures below of my night visit at the park. It also has Citi bike station nearby.

  • 5/5 Bev S. 5 years ago on Google
    I loved strolling along the water. There are plenty of benches. Plenty of space to view the harbor and lots of informative boards to understand the history of the area. There is a perfect blend of the cobblestones and newer pavement to make walking easier.

  • 5/5 Irishman t. 3 years ago on Google
    Stunning cityscape views from this area. Love to come here when I can

  • 5/5 Sayed M. 3 years ago on Google
    Finally fully developed. Great place to hang. If it weren't for quarantine it'd be a great place to meet people

  • 5/5 Faiz K. 5 years ago on Google
    My goto spot every time I visit Boston. A photographers delight either during sunset or sunrise. Get a great view of the Boston harbour skyline. Perfect spot for those winter time lapses. Will surely be visiting the Fan pier park again soon. Good place for an evening walk. Lots of great restaurants within the vicinity as well

  • 5/5 Sinan A. 4 years ago on Google

    Would be much better if it was a beach!

  • 5/5 Rashmi P. 3 years ago on Google
    Sitting over the edge in Fan Pier Park, watching the sunset just by the Boston skyline is one of the most calming, beautiful sights. Nice for an evening walk

  • 5/5 Danny Lam O. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful summer day.

  • 4/5 Diana S. 3 years ago on Google
    Pleasant place to sit and watch the boats sail up and down. Limited public seating I went no crowds so enjoyed the ambiance.

  • 5/5 Carlos 3 years ago on Google
    Great views

  • 5/5 Lorenc L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very nice little park by the sea and cafes and definitely the best view you can find for Boston skyscrapers. (Original) Ένα πολύ όμορφο μικρό πάρκο δίπλα στην θάλασσα και στα καφέ και σίγουρα την καλύτερα θέα που μπορείτε να βρείτε για τους ουρανοξύστες της Βοστώνης.
