Lynn Heritage State Park celebrates this remarkable city’s past and the people who built it. Stroll in the beautifully landscaped 4 1/2 acre Waterfront Park. Benches afford a place to rest and a shade shelter provides protection on bright summer days. A long boardwalk borders the seawall and offers a sweeping view across Lynn Harbor and Massachusetts Bay, with the Boston skyline in the distance. There’s also a lively flow of boats to watch from the nearby public marina. A walk along the boardwalk will bring you to the colorful nine panel mosaic mural of ceramics and Venetian glass, depicting Lynn’s history, natural beauty and coastline.
