    This truly is a hidden gem of historical significance on the tippy tip of the Hull peninsula. I've been here a few times because my aunt and uncle live right down the street from the area. I never realized, though, how truly wonderful this place was until my most recent visit. This is one of the last examples of the defense forts that allowed watch over Hingham Bay, Quincy Bay, Dorchester Bay, Boston Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The fort itself is actually still in surprisingly good condition considering all of the wear and tear that it has been put through since it was built. You can still go in to the old fortified area to see rooms with fireplaces, prison cells (some with the iron bars still in tact) and a very intricate system of tunnels that stretch for thousands of feet. The lookout tower even still stands and apparently you can take tours of it when someone is there to volunteer to open it up. I'm a bit disappointed that no one was there when we were having a look around, but we'll wait until next time. However, a lot of this park has been destroyed by local idiot adolescents who have trashed almost every inch of the fort with with idiotic graffiti and trash (mainly beer bottles and empty spray paint cans). This could be a really great site if there was any money to actually take care of it. The city could actually probably make a bit of money if they charged $1 admission and put up some signs to notify visitors of the historical significance of this particular site. It really is a shame that this place has gone to total shit, but it's still a really cool site to visit if you've got the time to ferry on over to Hull (about 20 min on the ferry or 45 min driving from Boston).

    My favorite spot, it is a must see if you love history or photography or want the best views of Hull. Breathtaking.

    Interesting geographically considering you can drive here but it's in the middle of the Boston harbor islands.

    During the pandemic we have taken many walks and bike rides here. It's a pretty park although on…read morethe smaller side compared say to Wompatuck State Park. It can be busy on weekends though and hence less serene. If you have a dog, bring him! It's a dog friendly place but Fido must be leashed. There are other local dog parks if you want your dog to run free with his friends. This isn't that place. The view along the water is lovely and I've heard that you can go in the water as well as fish. There are about 6 miles or so of terrain to cover. Not a lot but just enough to work up a sweat and burn off some of the pandemic poundage we've gained. This park has been one in a rotation of outdoor spaces where my husband and I are spending free time as a way to get some fresh air and exercise. No permits, no fees! Just show up! Keep yourself moving. Eat less, walk more.

    I haven't been to this park yet, but I just read a review about off leash dogs…read more DOGS ARE ALLOWED OFF LEASH HERE WITH A PERMIT FROM THE TOWN OF HINGHAM. If you want to allow your dog off leash, Hingham will provide you with a permit. Its free to apply and they just need proof of vaccines and a homeowners' policy. It's a very quick process. I applied for mine and it was approved within 1 day. I just haven't picked it up yet. I don't plan on walking here off leash too much, but will let my dog off leash if its a quiet morning. To apply: https://www.hingham-ma.gov/791/Off-Leash-Dog-Walking-Permit

    So far, we have only been here twice, Labor Day 2023 and 2024 after moving to MA in 2023. We wish…read morewe didn't live 40 minutes away by car. We would be here much more often! Since our only times here have been on probably the busiest day of the year, please take that into consideration with my review. The not so great: Parking is a bit tight, but not impossible if you got a bit of patience. There are no public restrooms, this year (2024) there didn't seem to be any bins for dog poop or trash, there is only one water station at the front. The good: With the exception of one family not checking their dog's resource guarding, every other dog we saw was so well behaved with responsible owners. Between the beach, the walking path, and the hill, there's so much opportunity to run out your pup! While we were a bit bummed that high tide took away the ability to walk the entirety of the peninsula on the beach, the water was clearer than it is during low tide, so we'd definitely recommend a high tide visit. After a little over an hour there, our German Shepherds were completely wiped out and even after the 40-minute ride home where they napped, they were still conked until dinner time.

    Best dog park ever! And with a tiny beach where dogs are allowed all time! My pup loves this place!…read moreThe water looks dirty, but he doesn't mind and had a great swim. The hills and greens on the island is huge and there are so many dogs on the weekend! My dog had a blast playing with other dogs and running up and down hills chasing balls! Best play to tire out a dog while give him a good time!
