Waterfront Park, Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (112 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Newburyport Points of Interest & Landmarks • Parks

Nice walk on a hot summer's day.

On a Saturday on the 4th day of a heat wave my wife and I drove up to Newburyport. Was pleasant along river, but still hot. First we went in a few shops downtown, browsing. Then we went in The Oldies building on the river, which sells interesting old things, but still hot, even though they had all the doors open. We walked along the park for a while, then sat on the benches a while, and then ate at Tuscan's, which was excellent (it is right on the water.)

    PARK WITH RIVERFRONT WALK WITH SCENIC VIEWS
    Newburyport’s Waterfront Park provides a place for an easy stroll along the waterfront of the Merrimack River. It is also a place for panoramic, scenic views of the yachts anchored in the river, passing marine traffic, the shoreline on the opposite shore, and the docks. Waking along, I came upon one dock that’s a boarding point for a harbor cruise. There are several benches along the walkway where one can just sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. During my walk, I found a lot of people sitting on the benches. They were quite friendly. I rate Waterfront Park at 4.75. The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews. If you found this review useful, please click HELPFUL.

    Pleasant Surprise
    This park has a very nice boardwalk along the Merrimack River. Great views of all the boats. Plenty of benches along the boardwalk. Within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. Parking is available for $1 per hour. Boat tours are located here as well. We were here on Memorial Day and it was close to 90 degrees. The next day dropped to 55 degrees. Pack accordingly.
