    This is a really nice local park. If you have a dog, this is a perfect place to walk with. Even though I don't have a dog, still nice to walk and see excited dogs. I will come back in spring and falls for the different scenery.

    Beautiful park. Thanks to yelp reviews recommending the Edmands St parking - we saw almost no people and barely any dog poop. We did see like 7 snakes, a frog, large birds, etc. Great hiking area, lots of unusual vegetation too. Parking wasn't busy.

    My favorite place to walk in the MetroWest area. I love that there are so many different parts to explore. My favorite place to start is the Millwood St. entrance- turn right when you walk in to avoid the giant packs of dogs. The Edmands St. entrance has a giant hill that can make it a little difficult when the weather isn't great.

    Came here with my dog and she absolutely loved it! It's a great workout for people as well. Met some very friendly dog walkers and had a great time exploring a new place. Was very clean--no visible trash laying on the ground. The main deal breaker for me is that some of the trails are not labeled or the signs have fallen down, making it VERY easy to get lost. While there is a map in the parking lot, the times I have gone there have been no physical maps for people to take. I had to take a picture and guess where I was.

    Dogs have fun here.

    It's not a dog park, but it's a great place to bring your dog. There is a big field next to a pond where people bring their dogs - and off-leash is allowed there. The dogs are typically well behaved and love to romp around with each other and go swimming on warmer days. Not to be overlooked, there are miles of beautiful, peaceful trails through the surrounding woods. On some of the trails, dogs must be leashed, but on most, it's not necessary. If you decide to go here, please pick up after your dog so that everybody can continue to enjoy the park, dog owners and non-dog owners alike.

    My pup (right) having so much fun!

The tree memorial for the 9/11 victims from the area was beautiful and a nice way to honor those folks in the community. There is alot of open grassy area to sit or play - a few benches along the trail, and a handful of picnic tables. If you want to sit out though, you probably want to bring your own chair. The walk was nice - very flat area without really any hills and the trail is paved, well defined, has mile markers, and is wide. It's a little over a mile, so if you're short on time you can get a quick walk in otherwise you can do a few laps to get in extra mileage! I did see there was a little playground area as well and a gazebo! There was actually a small ceremony happening when I was there. Another sweet thing to note, there is a senior living home on the trail, so it was lovely to see some elderly people out getting sunshine and enjoying the park too! Definitely recommend checking it out if you want to get outside and have a nice place to go!

Possibly the best prize for labeling as many species as possible. So many gardens do not provide good and legible labels on their plants, trees, bushes, ferns, and flowers. This was joyfully, thoroughly well-labeled. As was the path itself on the loop trail. There is an additional outer trail you could take if you're channeling your inner Thoreau but we stuck with the anti-Frost and took the road more traveled. Stay on the path. Recommendations say you can walk the loop in 30mins. You probably could. But we found plenty to keep us oohing and aahing for 90 mins! Turtles, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, and some fab funghi in the lily pond. Unique and colorful small flowers every which way. The trail has mostly small inclines here and there, but the hike at the end to return to the visitor center is a bit huffy puffy. While there were beautifully carved benches throughout other parts of the loop, there were no benches on this steepest part and there really should be at least one halfway up the hill. Take your time. Wear proper shoes, bring a water bottle. Small parking lot. Bonus gift shop, plant shop, and proper rest rooms.

Perfect for cooking off on a hot day. The splash area is fenced in with one entrance/exit which is also convenient for parents who want to sitervise. There is also a sanded volleyball net, a basketball court and a large field. There are bathrooms but I didn't use them so can't speak to their cleanliness. One major con is there is no shade and little seating. I would suggest bringing a lawn or beach chair that has its own canopy.

    I love this park! (even though I don't like the outdoors haha)…read more This park is beautiful. They have a huge playground with things for very little kids and big kids to play on. They have a skateboard area. They have basketball courts. There is a baseball field and a couple areas where kids play soccer. The biggest reason I love this place is their walking track and trails. The track is 4 times around for a mile. They have a sign posted to tell you how long the trails are. There are also some paved walkways around the whole park. This park is always kept immaculately clean and is always packed! It is often hard to find parking. The other great thing about this park is that they spray for mosquitoes quite frequently so it is never very buggy here even with all of the woods and some marshy type areas.

But still clean on the exterior). The pathways have a significant amount of boardwalk all across the sanctuary, which helps with keeping my hyper child away from poison ivy and ticks to some degree. There is a seated area for picnicking. (though no recycle bins. odd..) And best of all.. Lots of crawly, jumpy, flappy, slimy things to distract and de plug your pandemic technology-plugged child for a few hours. To enjoy fresh air. Take in nature's beauty. To learn to sit in the discomfort of possibly being bored when not overstimulated every second. My inattentive child's highlights were: - learning about the semi-toxic slime of a slug - listening to the bullfrogs in rhythm - chasing his buddy down the boardwalk in the last stretch - drinking sweet lemonade and picnicking as reward for all that walking
