Mayor Thomas M. Menino Park is a Charlestown Navy Yard waterfront playscape whose design draws on the former dry dock, with play areas, seating, elevated lawns, viewing decks, and an accessible harborwalk.

The most detailed City source is from 2022 and the corroborating City directory is older. Treat the harborwalk as a specific route claim, not proof of whole-park accessibility, and verify current equipment, routes, construction, address, and operations before a visit centered on a particular feature.
