Paul Revere Park is a five-acre (2.0 ha) park located on the Charles River in Charlestown, Massachusetts.[1] The park was the first park to open along the "Lost Half Mile" of the Charles River as mitigation for the taking of planned parkland for the construction of the Big Dig.[2] The park runs along the Charles River between the Freedom Trail on North Washington Street and the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. The park features a large oval-shaped lawn, an informal performance area, and a playground.[3][4]

A short walk through more construction, steel beams, and concrete barriers brings the group to Lovejoy Wharf and the ferry terminal, where they turn left and proceed along a walkway that zigzags across the river's locks into Charlestown and the first section of the lost half-mile to be officially found again, Paul Revere Park, which opened in July 1999.
