Castle Island553
in Boston, MA 02221about Castle Island:
Attached to the mainland since the 1930s and part of the Boston Harbor Islands, Castle Island is said to be the sight of the oldest continuously used military fortification in the U.S. Initially called Fort William when it was built by the British in the 1600s, the fortification came into American hands in 1776 and was renamed Fort Independence in 1799.
There's great bike riding on the island. Kids and parents can ride for miles along the beaches on a well-maintained boardwalk. As you ride away from the parking area, the view of the city across the water is stunning. Parking at Castle Island is free, and there is a large playground and snack bar near the parking lot. Friendly dogs are everywhere - but if you bring yours, be sure to take a leash.
