Paul Revere Park

Paul Revere Park is a five-acre recreational space that stretches along the Charles River between North Washington Street and the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. The grounds feature an open lawn with an informal area designed for gatherings and various outdoor activities.

The park opened in 1999 as the initial phase of the Lost Half Mile restoration project, created to compensate for green space lost during the Big Dig construction project. This effort marked the beginning of riverfront recovery in this section of the city.

The space hosts community events and informal gatherings where locals enjoy music, celebrations, and outdoor time together. These regular activities give the park its social character and make it a gathering place for the neighborhood.

The space can be reached through multiple entry points along the Charles Riverwalk and connects to the Mass Central Rail Trail system for easy navigation. The grounds are relatively flat and straightforward to explore, with clear pathways for walking and resting.

The North Bank Bridge, a 690-foot pedestrian crossing, connects this park directly to North Point Park across the river in Cambridge. Completed in 2012, it provides a direct route between the two riverbanks without requiring a long detour.
