About this adventure
Perched on the edge of South Boston jutting into Boston Harbor, Castle Island is one of the city's most invigorating winter walk spots. A flat, paved 2-mile Harborwalk path loops around historic pentagonal granite Fort Independence and Pleasure Bay, making it completely stroller-friendly and accessible for trikes and balance bikes. Kids will love watching massive ocean freighters cruise into Boston Harbor and commercial airliners descend low overhead into Logan International Airport across the channel. An enclosed children's playground sits near the entrance, and plenty of free angled parking lines Day Boulevard.
