Best street view of Boston that I know of! WOW!!! And there’s plenty of street parking. Trash cans for 💩. Scattered benches. It’s a lovely place.

My dog and I love it here! I appreciate that the area is smaller so I can see her at all times as a younger dog who is new to the park atmosphere. Lots of lovely dogs (and friendly humans). People generally take care to keep the area clean. Bags and hand sanitizer are provided as well as a shaded area.

A beautiful and peaceful park with stunning sunset views over the Mystic River. Great walking/running tracks, tennis courts, and a lovely playground for kids. Perfect for a quiet evening stroll or just relaxing by the water. A hidden gem! Also, very friendly for all communities.
