Amazing place, even on winter. The baseball fields were clear from snow. We really enjoyed!!

This is a lovely park. Its a good place to go for a walk. An oasis of nature in a bustling city.

Stunning park that is a great place to visit. Went during the fall time and saw the leaves changing color and it was picturesque as all could be. Had to stop myself every few minutes to take a picture. Wide trails easy to navigate and not too crowded.

Vibrant park with mature groves, gardens, streams/ponds, bike and foot paths, and a recreation area. Many beautiful hidden vignettes provide peaceful getaways. I love the Emerald Necklace and its many components, and the Fens is no exception – an urban park done very well.
