More Activities in the Park and in the Neighborhood
The Friends of Christopher Columbus Park has something for every age group. We work hard to support families that live in the North End and Waterfront Neighborhoods or families that are just visiting. This page has many links and resources for children. We know that connecting to other families in the city can be more challenging than in the suburbs but the park is a great place to do it.
In the summer the fountain and the Playground/Tot-Lot in the park are always a great place to bring kids of all ages. But even in the winter there are many activities to do in the neighborhood. Below are some links to local children's activities.
