Charlestown Naval Shipyard Park, Maritime park in Charlestown, United States.
Charlestown Naval Shipyard Park is a recreation area along Boston Harbor with walking paths, basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds, and water splash areas for families. The grounds offer multiple spaces where visitors can walk, play, or sit near the water.
The site operated as an active Navy shipyard from 1800 until 1974, building and maintaining vessels that served through multiple wars. When the yard closed, the grounds were converted into a public recreation area.

The park is easy to reach by bus, with several routes serving the area nearby. Street parking is available if you choose to drive, making access convenient by either method.
An Anchor beer garden within the grounds offers outdoor seating with swinging chairs and live music overlooking Boston Harbor. This spot draws visitors looking to relax with drinks and entertainment in a waterfront setting.
