Boston: Children’s Hospital Walking Map

Boston Children’s Hospital is in the center of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area. Within a 20-minute walk are some of Boston’s best sights for kids [grownups, too!] — a puppet theatre, playgrounds, an anatomical museum, Fenway Park [open for tours], major art museums, galleries and the beautiful Emerald Necklace park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, winding through the area.

In 1895, landscape architect Charles Eliot was hired to restore the great crescent of the beach permanently for bathing, promenading, eating, socializing and ocean viewing. A narrow gauge railroad led to beach amenities like open-air bathhouses with bathing suits rented for 25 cents/hour. Rules of the era prohibited bathers from crossing the boulevard in bathing suits, so a tunnel was built under it. A clock faced the beach reminding bathers when their bathing suit rental period was ending.

The beach was lined with grand hotels, four large roller coasters, carousels with handcarved horses five deep, fun houses and bowling alleys. The world-famous Cyclone Coaster had a vertical drop of 100 feet with speeds of 50 mph. Revere Beach has many historical structures preserved from its past: the clock, beachside pavilions, William G. Reinstein Bandstand, the Captain’s House and a police station topped with the 6-foot long copper codfish weathervane from the former bathhouse.

Build stronger, safer communities. Pedestrian activity puts more eyes on the street, making residential areas more neighborly and commercial districts more vibrant. Build stronger families. Walk with your children and their friends to school, or take a walk with your family after dinner. Families that walk together communicate better together. It’s easy to incorporate walking into your day. You can run your errands on foot, or a walk can double as a social activity – bring a family member, your dog, a friend or a coworker along.
