South Boston Maritime Park
The South Boston Maritime Park, at the intersection of D Street and Northern Avenue near Eastport Park, opened in June 2004. Designed by the landscape architecture firm of Halvorson Design Partnership of Boston, the park boasts a sizeable lawn, shaded sitting areas, extensive landscaping, a fountain, benches, public art, public restrooms, and a seasonal cafe serving breakfast and lunch. The South Boston Maritime Park highlights Boston's history as one of the oldest seaports in the Western Hemisphere and once the busiest trading post in North America. Maritime related elements and interpretive art adorn the park reminding visitors of Boston's proud maritime past as well as modern day activities within the Port of Boston. The park provides an inviting place to catch a glimpse of the city's working waterfront including the historic Fish Pier and other waterfront activities.
