This past weekend, myself and a buddy wanted to get out of Boston and shake up our walking route…read moreand landed on World's End. Be careful when putting the address into your navigation, especially Waze users, as it took us to the totally wrong location at first. Once you arrive, however, parking is pretty straightforward. It costs $10/car. The staff at the hut where you pay for parking was super helpful in letting us know what route would best suit our time constraints. We were even given a map! The trails were pretty clear, some maybe weren't as clearly defined as they could've been. Note for hikers: this does feel like more a stroll in the park as opposed to a true hike. Some hidden paths did feel like one, however, so don't be afraid to venture off what seems to be the most defined routes. We loved the views of the Boston skyline, harbour, and Hull, MA. This place is definitely worth a visit. I'm looking forward to coming back in autumn to see some good foliage!

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.

Great place to run or walk or bike. On weekends, check to see if any race is going on, because you could potentially get trampled by bicycles or runners. Overall, very nice place to visit and to get some physical activity. One thing I don't like is the fact that some people do not pick up after their dogs and leave piles in the middle of the road. This is lazy and disrespectful. But I do go in there often.

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.

Its probably the best park I have seen/been to this summer... They had so many different little stations. They even have this Music area where there are drum like pedestals that when you bang on make music & big chime like things you can bang hammers off to make noise... it was super cool! There are several slides, plank like walking pedestals & monkey bars.. There is a sprinkler section... There are tons of Picnic tables under a covered roof to hide in the shade, you even have to walk over a bridge to get there... Kinda cool! Only downside, no close bathroom & its woodchips which I admit is great for when kids fall, but horrible for women in flip flops! Will defintely be coming back.

During the summer there are lifeguards on duty from about 12 to 4 PM. The beach is very clean and well-kept. It's never too busy and there's always plenty of parking. Most people don't know about this place. It's actually open to the public. You do not need to be a Hingham resident to visit here. Not only that but it's actually free. Not only is the beach pristine and beautiful, the water idyllic blue and fresh and clean, but there is a green right next to the beach and it is vast and beautiful with lots of trees and picnic tables. There's lots of places to sit. There's also a snack bar with amazing food. It has lobster rolls and salads and amazing fries. This place is totally a gem. On the other side of the beach there is a beautiful knoll with lots of trees. I recommend this place for kids, for picnic Sundays, for families, anybody can come here. It is open and free to all. A wonderful place to be. Dogs are welcome here on the beach from Labor Day to memorial day. And then from Memorial Day to Labor Day they need to be on leash next to you and they're really not supposed to be on the beach when there are a lot of people around.

A REALLY great spot for photography, video art filming, and if you do cosplay this is a GREAT spot. Great for kids and pets also.

HIDDEN POND IS NO MORE…read more How great it once was when the marvelous and aptly named "HIDDEN POND," nestled behind Whole Foods at Hingham's Derby Street Shoppes, was a beautiful, well maintained natural resource enjoyed by many visitors to the area and to the shoppes. The official opening of the tranquil Hidden Pond was Jan. 15, 2011, inviting the public to skate on the frozen secluded pond. Visitors sipped on complementary hot chocolate as they watched their children skate on the ice. Warmer weather brought people out as well to take a peaceful walk around the pond which was surrounded with sculptures. Aquatic wildlife flourished at Hidden Pond. To see this once inviting and lovely spot overgrown with weeds and disheveled is sad and certainly not neighborly. If a residential property were left in such disrepair neighbors would demand homeowner action. The expectations of visitors to the Shoppes, outdoor enthusiasts, taxpayers and others deserve to be met by this major commercial enterprise. Many of us enjoy shopping at Derby Street Shoppes and appreciate the job opportunities made possibly by the Shoppes. Please revitalize the once amazing small treasure that was Hidden Pond! The Shoppes are located at 100 Derby Street, Hingham, MA 02043. The Shoppes are owned WS Development at 33 BOYLSTON STREET, SUITE 3000 CHESTNUT HILL, MA 02467 617-232-8900 Contact the owners at the phone number above or at https://www.wsdevelopment.com/our-properties/ CALL 617-232-8900 AND URGE THAT THIS GEM OF A POND AND ITS SURROUNDING AREAS BE RESTORED TO ITS HEYDAY CONDITIONS FOR ALL TO ENJOY.

This is probably my favorite paved track to walk in Weymouth! It's so well kept, with beautifully…read moregroomed landscaping, plenty of trash barrels, a big parking lot plus some street parking. There's room for hard-core walkers, runners, casual strollers, it accommodates everyone's pace. And that's just the outside walking path that circles the center field! It's surrounded on one side by suburban neighborhood woods and fescue- just beautiful! Watch out for the bunnies that live in the neighborhood under the trees. The paved path rolls out ahead of you with straightaways, gradual dips and rises. Benches are placed at intervals for a stop and you can always look ahead to shady areas while walking along. Just remember to walk/run counterclockwise and don't be that guy who runs down the middle of the path against the foot traffic and you'll have a great time. Outside the path, on one side there's a big play area for kids - I see regular child play groups here. Climbing things, slide, jungle gym. This abuts 5 beautifully kept tennis/pickleball courts where you'll see all levels of players thwacking balls. The jewel in the crown is the artificial turf soccer field in the middle where you might see high school field hockey, rugby play, all levels of soccer play and practice. There's a low set of bleachers to watch the action on the field and benches to see the courts from. The field is *perfectly* manicured-just beautiful. If you ever wanted to see the New England Free Jacks, a pro rugby team play they occasionally have Saturday practice here! Check the field's Weymouth website, you can see the reservation schedule for everyone playing. You can still walk the path while sport teams are playing, it's roomy enough for everyone. weymouthma.myrec.com/info

Dogs are allowed but are restricted from the playground area and are legally required to be leashed (6ft leashes or less are required)...so far I haven't seen anyone breaking these rules like you see frequently elsewhere. Lots of bike-racks, water fountains, trash cans, and doggy-bag stations. This park is great for families. In the summer months you'll even see a visiting ice-cream truck for the kiddos...
