I have lived in Dorchester all my life and never visited this park until the other day when I…read morestopped along the Ave. and, with a friend with our cameras, decided to take a closer look. This is a park whose natural beauty, landscaping, Fall color and tranquil setting is worth seeing and visiting in all seasons. I posted four of a dozen pictures I took and I think they say it all. I'll add this place to Arnold Arboretum as one of the places I go to photograph and walk. Give it a view. You won't be disappointed.

What a lovely playground that is great for both younger and older kids. The little kid play area is…read morecompletely fenced in and features slides and climbing structure. The older kid area had several slides perched up on a hill. The ground is rubber so no worries about the little one getting hurt. There is a splash pad but it only had a small misting spray so not really a true splash pad. The little kid area has some shade in the morning but the big kid area has no shade. Closed in dog park next door if you want to bring your dog.

The park was bustling with hockey activities, softball games, and little league matches while the…read moretot lot was filled with energetic kids enjoying their playtime. It's wonderful to witness the park coming to life and the community making the most of the beautiful weather. I am eager to see the upcoming plans and renovations for this park.

BEST (OFF LEASH) "DOG" PARK IN BOSTON!!! It is not fenced in which may seem surprising considering…read moreits proximity to the expressway but it really doesn't need one. Once you find parking in the smallish, dirt lot, the park is entirely on a peninsula even at low tide. There are usually at least 5 dogs there after 5pm and they range in all sizes. The weekends are busier when it's nice out but the busiest I've seen it is noon-2pm when dog walkers from around the city fill it with up to 40 dogs the last time I tried counting! and there was plenty of room for all of them; the swimmers fetched tennis balls from the water, the runners chased each other in the field, and the older dogs relaxed in the plentiful shade. The only reason it doesn't get 5-stars is the same as another reviewer mentioned. The city hasn't really claimed it with much more than the sign when you first pull up. It would be great if the trash was picked up regularly, they paved the parking lot or the walking path around the perimeter, and/or ideally installed a fresh water fountain with doggie bags dispenser.

A little on the small side, what it lacks in trails it makes up for in nature & views. Great views…read moreof Boston, Marina Bay, the harbor islands and the Boston gas tank. Since most of the place is a salt marsh there are a ton of birds for watching. We saw a bunch of bunnies there too. There is a pier that people were fishing off of and a gigantic empty parking lot that would be perfect for a kid to learn to ride a bike. Or a teenager to learn how to drive. You probably wouldn't want both of those things going on at once though.

Super beautiful great place to go on a walk, run, jog, or to go cycling. There are always people…read morewalking their dog so even if it is a little chilly outside, you will see people enjoying the views. The park is quite long, it starts in Quincy/Dorcester area, goes through Milton, and I believe ends in Mattapan (Since it is a long path, I have not quite walked/cycled the whole way). On warmer days, there are more people out and about, but it doesn't feel crammed at all. Pros: - View of the water & the city depending on where you start - A few places to park your car (I normally park on the Dorcester side and have yet to see the lot completely full) - There are a few athletic fields so could be a great place to play some ball Cons: - There is almost always dog poop in the grassy area so be careful about where you step & if you are considering a picnic I would carefully inspect the floor before laying claim to a piece of grass.

But after going today with my (almost) 2 Y.O., I realized its not really suitable for a toddler thats just learning how to maneuver the Slides & climbing things... The ground was that rubbery surface, but if he fell he was going to hurt himself & the slides are really high & he has no concept of slow down or be careful... So it is a beautiful place for walks or flying a kite, but the playground is for older kids... Other than that a great place to visit!

Secret Squantum Park has a GREAT view of the Boston skyline - especially at sunset. You can work your way along the small rocky beaches covered in zillions of periwinkles and find yourself looking over calm waters back to the shiny Kubrickesque monolith that is the John Hancock building. There's also good views of UMass, the JFK library and the mysterious Thompson Island. Oh, and if you like skipping stones - THIS IS THE PLACE. I managed 12 skips with one stone. New PB!

This playground features slides for younger toddlers and a huge 3 story slide for the older kids. Lots of swings and things to climb here. I love that the ground is soft rubber so no need to worry about falls or annoying wood chips. Everything is shaded so you don't have to worry about the sun on hot days. There are a few little trails to explore as well and they are paved. Great spot to walk your dog. No bathrooms though so you have to find a business to duck into if you have to go.

The Neponset Bike Path is such a fun way to get some exercise in!…read more I love biking the path from the back side of the trolley stations to under the Neponset Bridge. Sometimes I bring my own bike to ride but most times, I'm too lazy! Luckily, they have Blue Bikes (regular bikes + E-bikes) available to rent at different areas of the path. The paved path is roughly 9 miles long, with endpoints at Brush Hill Rd, Milton and Morrissey Blvd, Dorchester. Highly recommend!
