Fort Revere Park contains two seacoast fortifications. During the American Revolution, it was first fortified by Patriot forces to protect Boston Harbor.
The path leading up to the park was not well maintained. When we arrived at the top of what is known as Telegraph Hill, the views from the remains of the fort were breathtaking. We can see Boston Light on Little Brewster Island, and the other islands in the Boston Harbor.
The fort fell out of use after the Revolution War until World War I, when quarters and storehouses were built. However, nowadays, the buildings are in a decrepit state. Stairs are very worn, and rather dangerous to walk on. The rooms are dark and damp, and the walls are full of graffiti.
The kids enjoyed running through the tunnels and pretending that the rooms were haunted. Although there were no guns or cannons left, they imagined they were at battle.
There is also a water tower, but it’s also in disrepair and is closed to public. Not much remained of this fascinating place.
The harbor views including the Brewster islands and lighthouse make this worth visiting, but the fort itself is really rundown. 
The views are nice, but this place really need a restoration. 
Lots of graffiti and broken parts of the building. Bad condition overall. But still really cool.
The view of the peninsula was great and it was interesting.
I liked the creepy parts and the space where the cannon had been was cool.
