If you are looking for a great view of the Boston Skyline to surprise propose to your fiancé for photos, look no further than LoPresti Park. The park is also known as the Senator Michael Lopresti Sr. Park
There are no permits to go to this park and take photos, and it’s not as busy as parks such as Christopher Columbus or Fan Fare Pier. LoPresti Park is open until 11:30 PM each day. If you are looking for nighttime skyline photos, this is where you should head.
For the park's namesake, Senator Michael Lopresti's claim to fame was that he was the only elected official never to lose an election. He served Suffolk and Middlesex District since 1973.
The park also goes by other names such as the North Ferry Park which was there before the now-known LoPresti Park. The park was a ferry stop that was mainly a passenger ferry from Battery Wharf to help commuters. People from East Boston used the ferry to get to Boston as it was right over the harbor. It's not just the views people come for. There is a great restaurant called Reelhouse and 4 acres of parks to walk around. People come from all over to enjoy the view and play soccer, use the basketball courts, and playground. The park originally opened in 1977 and is maintained by the City of Boston.
This is not the only place in Boston with a view of the water and Boston Skyline. Standing at Moakley Courthouse in the Seaport you have a great view of the park. The challenges of proposing there are that it has two different sidewalks with big metal chains. If you propose on the lower part of the walkway, you run the risk of objects in the way (be it pillars or big metal chains, or the iron boats that are erected.
If you haven't stopped by LoPresti Park to see the view of the city, I highly recommend popping over! It's an easy drive!
