It's a beautiful small city park in Assembly Rowe with a very nice children's playground. All of my kids played there for years so I have a lot of fond memories there. There's always a good amount of wildlife, ducks, canadian goose, swans, mergansers swimming in the river nearby. There's even a wildlife observation deck in the middle of the park as well. Of course, the sunset over the bridge is always a special treat every night.

Sun’s out, blades out—cruisin’ on vitamin D and swerving like I’m in Goose Drift: Tokyo Honk. The geese squad posted up like they own the path—one even gave me side-eye and cracked its neck like it wanted to race ✌️

One of the nicest park around assembly row.. good spot for nice walks with great views of the mystic river, encore casino & it’s close enough to go to the shops all around the area. Convenient to buses and trains as well as station landing in Medford.

Great location with assembly row (shopping area). Ducks, rabbits, birds in abundance to watch. Many eateries too. Can just sit by the mystic River and watch the lively atmosphere.

It's a nice, quiet place. A beautiful view to the Casino, The Train Station, Ducks at the River, a park for Kids. Free Space.
