Langone Park

Langone Park is a waterfront park on Commercial Street in Boston’s North End, with views across the harbor toward the Zakim Bridge and USS Constitution. Take a break on the waterside seating, walk along the shore or bring food for a picnic. The park has a playground, public pool, basketball court, baseball field and three regulation-sized bocce courts, so it suits both families and visitors looking for room to move. Parking can be difficult; public transportation or an early arrival can make the trip easier.

A waterfront park in the North End

Langone Park is at 529-543 Commercial Street, on the North End’s northern shore beside Boston Harbor. Its waterside setting gives you a place to pause during a walk and look across the harbor toward the Zakim Bridge and USS Constitution.

The park is named for Joseph Langone, Jr., a Massachusetts state senator who served during the 1930s and 1940s.

Courts, fields and play areas

The park has three regulation-sized bocce courts, along with a basketball court and baseball field. Families can use the playground, and a public pool is also on site. Seating near the water makes it easy to take a rest between activities or have a picnic.

Parking can be difficult, so consider public transportation or arriving early. The park is a practical stop for a waterside break, especially if you have takeout to eat outdoors.
