| Fenway Park is only 5-blocks from Children's Hospital |
Boston is a great sports town. The Red Sox and Patriots have been world class in recent years, the Celtics reached that pinnacle last year, and the Bruins have returned to competitive excellence. The Revolution (soccer) are also among the top teams each year. Fenway Park is only a 10-minute walk from the hospital (~5 blocks) and the BankNorth Garden, where the Celtics and Bruins play, is a short subway ride. The Patriots and Revolution play in Foxboro, MA, which is about 20 miles south of the city.
For those who prefer participatory sports, the Harvard University Athletic Facilities and Harvard Medical School Athletic Facilities are available for a small fee. Harvard University offers facilities for indoor and outdoor tennis, swimming and diving, ice skating, jogging, squash, basketball, baseball, field hockey, lacrosse, rugby, volleyball, rowing, and sailing, plus others, and extensive exercise and weight training. The Medical School has a gymnasium, squash courts, cardiovascular and strength training equipment and an outdoor tennis court. Groups like the Boston Ski and Sports Club organize year round sports leagues, as well as sporting trips.
