“Cliff Diving” in Boston

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011 Boston

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011 - Boston

You would typically expect to see a “high-dive” board about 10 meters above the water. However, this past weekend the Institute of Contemporary Art building at Boston’s Fan Pier was transformed into an 80-foot diving board for competitive cliff diving. Cliff diving is usually considered a recreational sport where the diver jumps from a rock formation into either fresh or salt water. While the ICA in Boston is not technically a “cliff” it was the sixth stop for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series for 2011.

The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is the most prominent competitive platform for the sport of cliff diving. On Saturday, over 23,000 sports fans of Boston were introduced to a completely different type of sporting event where 14 divers from nine countries, between the ages of 25 and 46 competed for their spot in the competition’s standings. Gary Hunt, competing for Great Britain, swept the Boston round by accumulating 463.20 points and solidifying his first place spot with 109 points for the overall competition.

Boston was the competition’s first-ever East Coast stop in the United States. On their sixth stop the divers got to experience Boston Harbor’s “temperate” August water (averaging about 68 degrees Fahrenheit at this time of year). To learn more about the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011 click here.

Or to learn how you, too, can experience the exciting lifestyle in the Waterfront District – even if it’s not jumping into the Harbor from the top of the ICA – contact CL Waterfront today!

Vote for Christopher Columbus Park!

Filed under: Boston Waterfront Amenities, North End Amenities, North End Boston, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

Christopher Columbus Park in Boston's North EndIn the heart of Boston’s Waterfront district Christopher Columbus Park is a candidate available for voting in the Coca-Cola “Favorite Park” campaign. Hundreds of Boston residents and non-residents enjoy this park on a daily basis. It’s no wonder why – the park’s location and amenities are ideal for relaxing and enjoying the views of the Boston Harbor.

The Christopher Columbus Park in Boston’s North End was the first waterfront park to be built in the city and originally opened for Boston’s Bicentennial in 1976. A rose garden enclosed by a wrought iron fence and a granite fountain were added about ten years after the park was opened, but the park that people know and love today was updated in 2003 to include broad lawns, a play lot, a spray fountain, performance area, a statue of Christopher Columbus, and a beautiful wisteria-covered trellis.

The Coca-Cola “Favorite Park” campaign is a part of the company’s “America is Your Park” campaign which encourages families to get active outside at local parks around the country. The winning park will receive a $100,000 grant to help improve the area and make it an even better place for families to spend time. Vote for Christopher Columbus Park here to make it America’s “Favorite Park” of 2011!

Beautiful luxury Boston condo on the Burroughs Wharf waterfrontBoston Homes recently featured one of the luxury condominiums at Burroughs Wharf. No. 311 has been listed for $2.699 million and it’s no mystery why. The property offers an array of wonderful features.

The north end of the building juts into the harbor and is considered the “nose.” The best views can be seen from this part of the building and of course No. 311 is one of these coveted condos. The floor to ceiling windows offer picturesque views of the water. On a typical day you can watch ferries, sailboats, watertaxies, and tug boats glide by from your couch.

Additionally this condo features two balconies which also overlook the harbor – perfect for relaxing on a summer afternoon. But this space isn’t only great during the summer. In the winter, the beautiful light oak floors visually warm the entire space and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room provides a cozy escape from those chilly Boston winters.

Another benefit of living in this fabulous building right on the water is the fact that it comes with two mooring slips. If you’re an avid sailor and are searching for the perfect Boston waterfront real estate, Burroughs Wharf No. 311 could be the place for you! Read the full article featuring this property in Boston Homes or contact CL Waterfront to learn more about this incredible luxury waterfront living opportunity.
