South Boston
HarborWalk at the Fan Pier
From the HarborWalk on the Fan Pier, visitors can enjoy one of the best panoramas of the city, with unobstructed views of downtown to East Boston and the Harbor Islands. This HarborWalk segment has four interpretive elements which describe the history of the Fan Pier, as well as benches, plantings, and trash barrels. As part of the new office building at One Marina Park Drive on the Fan Pier, a new HarborWalk segment and dock opened along the Fan Pier in April, 2009. In December, 2009, the newest waterfront park along the South Boston waterfront opened at the Fan Pier. Along with a dramatic harbor vista, the Public Green developed by the Fallon Company offers something totally unexpected- music that is played 24/7. A public rest room and small sitting area, both located in the lobby of the One Marina Park Drive building, are now available to the public walking along the HarborWalk.
