Deer Island, a slender peninsula of 210 acres, unfurls its scenic beauty as it joins Winthrop along the serene Tafts Avenue in the quaint Point Shirley locale. This verdant expanse is home to a 60-acre park, a sanctuary adorned with walking trails that meander through nature’s splendor, interpretative signage that whispers the tales of the land, and memorial benches that invite reflective repose. Encircling the park is a 2.65-mile perimeter pathway, a journey that offers unparalleled vistas of Boston’s majestic skyline and the tranquil harbor. Nestled within the embrace of the Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area, the park welcomes all—from the first blush of dawn to the day’s twilight—to partake in the simple joys of walking, jogging, and the art of sightseeing, or to indulge in the leisurely pastimes of picnicking and fishing. As you approach this haven, a 26-car visitor parking area awaits on your left, ready to usher you into the embrace of Deer Island’s natural allure.
