Wharf District Parks

An evening walk for ice cream, watching the sunset on the Greenway, followed by a stroll through Christopher Columbus Park - this is a glimpse of summer in my back (front?) yard. I took these in the beginning of July (when I got my new camera) - which seems like forever ago!I thought the whimsical element of the bright carousel set against the modern industrial buildings made for some fun photos.The Wharf District Parks within the Rose Kennedy Greenway are one of my favorite spots to stretch out with a blanket and a good book. And maybe a Purple Cow Frappe. Families and friends flock to these lively and energetic parks that span the length in between Surface Road + Atlantic Avenue flowing north. The Christopher Columbus Park just next door welcomes you to the North End with plush green landscapes. It is largely defined by a trellis running the length of the park and opposing waterfront views. It is dotted with unique fountains and bright flowerbeds. For springtime photos of this park, be sure to check out an old post.Happy August!
