Location of the park and the site of the Great Molasses Flood

Langone Park is a waterfront park in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. It was named for Massachusetts state senator Joseph A. Langone, Jr., and his wife Clementina Langone.[1] Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the park features a Little League Baseball field, a playground, and three bocce courts.[2] It is located on Commercial Street at the edge of Boston Harbor, immediately to the west of the Andrew P. Puopolo Jr. Athletic Field.[3]

The park includes much of the area inundated by the 1919 Great Molasses Flood.[4]

To the southwest the park borders on Copp's Hill Terrace and further south is Copp's Hill Burial Ground. Both sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
