Very well designed with lovely views of Boston’s west end skyline. The skateboard park under the highway is excellent use of space, very nice spot for a walk

Nice park across the street from the Museum of Science . We have active kids so the play ground and sprinklers allowed the kids to burn off some energy around lunch time. Picnic tables were well cared for. The park is run by DCR. Only down side no rest rooms on site so go at the museum before going over.

North Point Park’s a real find, something for everyone, you know? The playground’s awesome—bright, clean, and super fun for kids. The restrooms are close and clean too, which is great. Whether it’s playtime, a picnic, or a dog walk, it’s perfect. Plus, amazing river views, walking trails, and you might even spot some wildlife! Kayaking’s easy there too, and it’s got some cool historical bits.

Awesome park! Great views of the city and so many walking and biking trails all throughout it. Walkable to a handful of nearby restaurants as well which is a plus.

North Point Park is absolutely fantastic! It’s super clean with tons of open space to relax and unwind. The surrounding area has so many great spots to explore nearby, making it a perfect place to spend the day. Visiting here has definitely made me fall in love with Boston even more. Highly recommend!
