We stumbled upon Castle Island and Fort Independence quite by accident. It is a beautiful park and the tour of the fort was fabulous. We had a great tour guide named Jim so if you get to take the tour try and do it with Jim. The park is a very popular place and so parking can be tough. But the walk is great with wonderful views of the harbor area and the city of Boston. If you are in Boston make a trip to South Boston and Castle Island. it is a great leisurely day..... in the city but away from the hustle bustle of city life...well worth the trip.
Pros: Great views interesting history
Cons: parking
