The dedication of long-awaited park brought out hundreds of spectators, creating a sea of umbrellas on the former plot of “Big Dig” land located across from Christopher Columbus Park on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Cross Street, also known as Parcel 13. The park is adjacent to the North End, Wharf District and Faneuil Hall area
