A pretty meadow and some trails through the woods. Plenty of parking but it does have an entry fee which is honor system based.

The trails are fun and varied, passing through different habitats, though mostly flat and quite easy. It's spectacular for bird watching!! It's true, it's a tick haven, so take precautions. But it's also a precious bit of peace and biodiversity on the South Shore-- a real gem. I don't recall seeing a lot of goose poop here but of course it's possible if a flock had passed through recently. But there's so much to this little gem though, that even if there were a lot of goose poop, it wouldn't ruin my experience.

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.

This little pond borders a cemetery, and has a paved walking path divides it, and connects South street to Essex street. On any given afternoon people are there fishing, walking their dogs, and hanging out. It's a quiet spot that's really pretty, and since it's so close to the park in town center, it's easy enough to build a walking route through it that'll help you get some exercise in the great outdoors!

A number of the trees are dead and have not been cut down nor replaced in years. It's a good place to relax, meditate, lay out a yoga mat in either sun or shade, and you can often see wild turkeys, wild Canadian geese, Hawks, rabbits, red foxes, and eastern coyotes. The park has several memorials, and you can also participate in adding adding or funding them also. Good spot for photography, drawing, sketching, painting landscape paintings, or flying kites as long as you stay away from the trees. Beware: I'm not sure, but you might also be able to rent it for private events. If you happen to be relaxing in the park on a Friday evening, during a concert or Food Truck Rodeo down the street, the traffic can back up and many unruly, rude teenagers and kids will shout, scream, and yell obscene harassing profanities at you from their cars just because you happen to be there.

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.

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!
