Geocache Description:


**The cache is not at the above coordinates**

The East Boston Greenway is a 3.3 mile multi-use path and linear park that connects neighborhoods and open spaces from Jefferies Point to Constitution Beach. 

This section of the Greenway, Bremen Street Park, lies on was originally the site of a Park 'N Fly off-airport parking lot. It was then purchased by the City of Boston to create this park as part of the Big Dig's environmental mitigation plan. In the middle of the park lies an outdoor performance amphitheater; a tiered grassy area for events and performances. At the center of the amphitheater lies a cement platform with a map of East Boston and the original islands that made up the area.

Also in the middle of Bremen Street Park lies a monument of Donald McKay, an East Boston resident best known as the builder of clipper ships, including the Flying Cloud. The coordinates listed will bring you to this statue. The cache can be found by taking one step East from the Northwestern tip of Hog Island for every year of Mr. McKay's life.
