👍👍 Amazing small park with a gorgeous view of Boston. Usually peaceful. Has a playground for children and restrooms. Popular spot for wedding photos as I've seen it occur on multiple occasions. Overall, a pretty solid spot to spend a nice afternoon. People often mention park, view, Boston, picnic, nice, Great, clean, family,

    Good place with enough parking lots. The most terrible thing is that restroom will be closed after sunset

    Very pretty, windy, and calming. I went solo and stayed for probably 30-60 minutes because it was so relaxing. It wasnt too busy, but there were more people that arrived as I left. Great place for kids, a date, or solo time.

    Great place to watch the sunset and see the harbor and there is a good parking place. The park is not dog friendly.

    Was walking around from the hotel and found this park just not far from Hyatt Hotel. Lived in Boston for 24 years, and just found it out. Super relaxing, nice design. Had a good area for kids play ground. Had very nice green for people who like to enjoy picnic or just relax. Have a great view of the harbor and is for sure great place to watch sunset. Great place for family!

    Small Parking lot - Hold your patience and wait for someone to leave. Don’t forget to look for free parking in the street too! Playground for kids and multiple restrooms available. Nice waterfront and the view of Boston skyscraper. Good spot to take lots of photos.

    piers park is one of the few parks i’ve been to in east boston that has a decent amount of greenery and nature. they do a good job keeping it pretty clean. there’s geese poop but that’s inevitable. folks clean up after their dogs. which is amazing and you would think it should be common sense but it’s not so common these days. there’s so much space for a picnic or even outside gatherings with friends. we’ve seen photoshoots here and i can only imagine how the pictures turn out. i appreciate the two different sides of the playground. there’s a tall side and mini side for the babies that older kids could still play in. which is cool. my seven year old bounces back and fourth. in the warmer weather there a splash pad and picnic tables in the playground with a bathroom right behind it which is so convenient. the scenery is also gorgeous. it’s worth the trip. you’ll spend at least a few hours there so pack a lunch and some snacks.

    Beautiful park... caught me by surprise. A great part to take a date for a stroll and even a picnic. Went here to try out a new tent we had for camping and stayed longer than usual.

    Great park for picnic with few tables plenty of shaded benches (man made and tree shade). Modern design with many walking paths and structured nooks to rest in.
