Sarah W is right, this place is a treasure.

It is a really cool find among the urban setting. Avoid as dusk - lots of mosquitoes. There is a runoff from somewhere that is polluting the pond but hopefully they are on top of that. I would also suggest avoiding in the evening unless you are in a largish group. We ran across a small group of 20 somethings doing drugs. It made me sad (and nervous) but reminded me you can never be too careful.

In addition to the revamped community gardens and tennis courts we've now got a whole summer wonderland including a sprinkler/mister area, lots of great landscaping, picnic benches, grassy flat for short frisbee throws or kiting, and cool public art. Super into it!

Oh, Rose. How I miss you…read more.. We used to kill time together, just sharing those lost moments between ordering, and picking up... sure... I could have waited at my desk, or chatted with Joe from finance, but then, the rest of the day.... I'd feel hollow. I'd have a picture of a life with a small green slice missing. Your oversized chairs are stylish, yet comfortable. Like a well made peep-toe platform pump. The grass was always green, and lush, and inviting, and ... *sigh* I'm sorry I had to leave you, but I needed to move on in my career. I will always miss those perfect spring afternoons spent lounging in the sun, letting the UV rays bake my cares away. Listening to the frolicking children in your safe and enclosed playground chirp along with the birds was the perfect soundtrack to a lost hour. Be well my dear. I will return, but much less frequently.

Our little group had lunch in town, and two were staying a few nights to visit their son, who lives…read morenot far from here because his first job after college is in Boston. We then needed to walk the dog, and we went to Powderhouse Park. I can recommend it for a fifteen minute stroll around the perimeter, to walk the dog, or if you happen to be in the area. It has historical features of interest, which is a bonus. I am glad municipalities have green space. That is so important to live-ability. I would not say this facility is a destination. It's too small. Tufts University is nearby. The founder of that institution and the owner who bequeathed this land were cousins or something along those lines, according to the internet (a credible claim, though my fact checking was merely cursory). If I were associated with Tufts or lived nearby, I could see coming here on a regular basis. It was not crowded, which is nice.

It's a great park to walk your dog around…read more It's not the best park for a picnic, mainly because it's a great park to walk your dog around. You smell what I'm stepping in? The squirrels obviously get fed because they're fearless. Or maybe they're fearless because it's a great park to walk your dog around? Either way, they will steal your Sun Chips, so (again) leave the picnicking for another park. Still, a park is a park, even one with random topography that can induce vertigo and no real separation from the anarchy that is the Powderhouse rotary. I do find it fascinating that the original powder house is somewhat present, in a senile, flaccid sort of way. The retired turret. Old Stoneysides. And I still talk about the day when I can hold a keg party there. But I wouldn't know what to do; I'm always in the dark. Because a party with a powder keg will be giving off sparks. I really need it tonight.

Cute area. It's nice to sit down and just read a book. I imagine this is a dream come true for…read moreparents in the area. The main draw for me are the tennis courts. They're not the best but they're close by and I can use them. Wholefoods and Rite-Aid are close by and once in a while I've spotted the Kona Ice truck. I'd stop by here more often for non-tennis needs but there are usually some happy noisy kids running around and they don't need a grumpy grown-up (hah, that's a funny one) to rain on their parade.

This park is quite the hidden gem! I live right down the street and came here for the first time…read morethis weekend. I'm not sure if I'm really a park-go-er, but who really is? Let me tell you who can be: * Parents with children (there's a great play place) * Children who are old enough to not have supervision * Folk who want to play basketball * Folk who want to play soccer * Folk who want to play tennis * Anyone who is craving a nice book and NICE (note: not burnt) grass to lay on * Dog walkers There's a semi-nice view of the Charles River from the park (although, it goes right into an industrial part of Allston, which isn't so great). Watch out for the traffic on River Street and Memorial Drive (although I believe there's a large fence). Also, if you're craving some sort of snack or ice cream, take your choice of Rite Aid, Whole Foods, 7-11, Dunkin Donuts or be thrifty and bring your own stuff!

This park is basically in my back yard. OK I don't have a backyard, but in back of the building I live in. How's that? They just re-did the park a year ago. They put in new tables with check and chess boards on top, new playground, new hoops and new landscaping. They even set up dog bag dispenser at each opening in the park. I bring my dog here everyday. Between 5-6 and there are about 20 dog owners and they let their dogs run around off leash. All the dogs get along, but beware. I have seen people blacklisted from the park because their dog got a bit rambunctious. Scary stuff LOL. The ONLY problem, I have with this park is the homeless people and the rehab/druggies in the summer. They come here with a blanket, radio and cooler and basically sit ALL day on the lawn. They will not bother you and I have always felt safe here but c'mon. ALL DAY? The other downside. Those who do not pick up after their dog. It boggles my mind since there are about five dispensers with free dog bags. Anyway, come here after work or during the weekends and you will bound to run into another dog owner-most are friendly...........same with the owners.

After a brisk and refreshing 10 minute stroll... I'm suddenly in Cambridge... and what is there to welcome me? Trolley Park. Funky cast-iron sculptures function as park furniture in this tiny little chill-haven. There are benches inspired by the genre of "trolley." Nice landscaping flirting with industrial art... A fun little chess station is equipped with table and chairs... TP (Trolley Park... not Toilet Paper) is located at the far end of the Bike Path, a short walk beyond the glorious Seven Hills Park. Next time, if I have a little more time to spare, perhaps I'll head back, plop it on a trolley bench, and dive into a book.

Found my first geocache here when pregnant with my son two years ago (after living in the area for…read morefour years), and often sat in the park while taking breaks on maternity leave stroller walks. Now that I'm back to running, I often run by (with or without toddler) or perch here if I happen to get to daycare a little early. It's a peaceful spot for people-watching or reading.
