amazing park-Charles River Esplanade
Charles River Esplanade-Also referred to simply as "The Esplanade," the Charles River Esplanade is a city park that stretches along the waterfront on the Charles River. The Esplanade is also the best access point for boating on the river where often times you'll see rowboats or sailboats depending on the weather and time of year. The Esplanade backs up adjacent to the Back Bay neighborhood, and also provides a lot of open space for walkers and joggers, as well as other people out to enjoy the spoils of the riverfront. The park was developed in 1927, and in 1929 the famed Boston Pops arrived on the riverfront, where they would perform a concert series in the open at least once a year. A more permanent band-shell was built in 1939 and subsequently called the Hatch Memorial Shell. Today the Boston Pops as well as various performers continue to use the park. For lodging select boston hotels.
