Francis D. Martini Memorial Shell Park and Moynihan Recreation Area — Attraction in Boston

I absolutely fell in love with this park last year when I discovered it. This is very close to my house and the splash pad is just the right fix for toddlers during hot Summer day.

The one drawback is the parking. I don't know if the plaza allows people to park there or not. I did see other parking in the...
