Paul Revere Park

Nice park. Be careful of the passive aggressive DCR parking wardens. They will ticket your car without warning even if you are standing nearby.

Came here with my dog for a golden doodle meet up. All the dogs were well behaved and owners acting responsibly. It is not fenced in so you do have to keep a close eye. There is parking and great views of the Zakim!

It was nice to see the statue for the first time, but not as thrilling as I’d hoped. I guess I wasn’t sure what to expect, but being here was something that I’d never thing of as a bad thing.

Popular place for Charlestown dog romps. Good social scene for the owners, which unfortunately creates the problem that a lot of people don’t watch their dogs. Nothing is more annoying than someone else’s dog jumping all over you, and the owner paying absolutely no attention. Or, from 25 yards away, the owner shouts «Muffy, stop jumping!», then resumes conversation with friends.
It’s not fenced in, so make sure Fido doesn’t bolt for the parking lot. No water fountain either. And did I mention that people don’t watch their dogs? All in, convenient to Charlestown but not my favorite dog park.

So I went to the park yesterday after finding it here on Unilocal… It was a nice place and had a Beautiful View, but the park itself (And by that I mean Playground) was too grown up for my little one — North Point on the other side of the bridge is just the best for the little one…
The parking here is skim, but its not acutal spaces so you can kinda just make your spot as you go… The paths are all over the place & like I mentioned it is a Beautiful view… Just the playground will have to wait another year for us to visit it!

We regularly walk our dogs to Revere Park to run and play. The area is well off from the very busy roads and is perfectly safe to turn your dog loose in. I’ve never seen any problems with dogs, behaviorally or otherwise here. Yes, dogs relieve themselves here, but I’ve also never seen something be left by an owner… even if they have to bum a baggie from another person.
It’s not easy to get to, but there is some parking (10 cars?). There’s a kiddie playground with the rubbery surface for the kids.
IMPORTANT note, there is NO WORKING water fountain near here, best I can tell. There is one in the kids’ area, but it isn’t turned on… so bring water for your dog!

This park would be a super nice place to play catch or kick around if people actually kept an eye on their dogs and didn’t let them tear up all the turf, relieve themselves all over the place and do other things that turn the green into a massive dustbowl every year.

I walk through this park at least once a week either to or from work and I adore it. Not only is it a shortcut over the locks through the park to Charlestown, but you don’t have to deal with the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses driving into Boston.
The «Bells of Charlestown» are unfortunately half dead, but I remember the song each time I walk by those silly gongs looking at the Zakim from an angle most people don’t get to see.
The park also provides space for kids to play in a pretty sweet looking playground and a huge area for dogs to run around in and have fun. Every time I’ve been through, the dogs have been kept under control and have only been focused on having a good time.

How has this not been reviewed? Weird. It’s a really pretty park.
You should walk through the locks to get here — that’s like a bunch of creaky walkways over channels in the river, you know what I mean? It’s kindof like those hay mazes you used to go in as a kid, in that it looks like it’s supposed to be a maze but it’s really easy to not get lost in it. Hay mazes are great for trying to get alone with that one girl so you can make out with her but then it turns out she doesn’t like you that way.
And then when you come out of the locks you walk by this «interactive music maker» which is a bunch of pipes that you can whack with mallets. I tried to make «interactive music» with Jackie, but she wouldn’t do it because I said «Hey Jackie, let’s make beautiful interactive music together» and after that she said she didn’t really want to be near me anymore. You can only reach two pipes at a time so that’s kindof lame but it’s pretty cool to whack things with mallets, so it works out.
The park itself has a nice green area where you can sit around playing with other people’s dogs and explaining to Lucie’s friend from Saskatchewan how the only thing you know about Saskatchewan is that if you eat the flesh of another human you’re cursed to wander the forests forever as the dreaded Wendigo. She said she’d never even heard of that. It’s a good thing she met me before she tried eating anybody. Amazing how some people can be so naïve, right?
There’s a playground that looks okay but I didn’t go in because there were real children in there and children kinda creep me out. There’s parking, I guess, although I didn’t try that. And it looks right out over the river. Really, it’s a pretty nice place. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is they didn’t have any beer there, which is a recurring problem with parks.
