Hours of Operation and Parking Information according to the website: Entrance gates open at 9:00 am and will close at posted time in the park.  The entrance gates are closed all day on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. From Weymouth, vehicle parking is available in the parking lot off Summer Street.  From Braintree, vehicle parking is available in the upper lots near the park office, and the lower lots near the start of the bike path. We arrived from the Braintree side and the time posted at the gate was 9am - 4:15pm. No trespassing after dark. We noticed parking by a covered picnic table area and jumped on the paved walking path from there. The path was divided by paint. Bikes, rollerblades, skateboards to the left and clockwise one way around the pond, pedestrians to the right, though the paint line disappeared after a while. I appreciated the paved path since it kept us from walking on the grass, and hopefully away from the ticks that some posted signs by the map were warning us about. We only went 15 minutes in before turning around, but found it pleasant but hilly, and ran across several other walking pairs - some with leashed dogs (in accordance to the rules), and no bikes. I did notice two bagged poop alongside the path though, one hanging from a tree at shoulder level. Watch the time if you come. Most of the parking was within the gates which will be locked at sunset. But if you walked in, you'll still be able to get out.

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!

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.

Union Point is actually also called "South Field" because that was it's name since it was a Naval…read moreAirbase. It isn't named that now, but everyone still calls it that, even tho' it's been renamed. The reason it was renamed Union Point was due to different towns having partial parts of them inside it, but it's generally South Weymouth. For years, you could still walk around, and take your pets here. There were some incredibly awesome high end playgrounds of the highest quality, but they are all fenced off now. Now, there are a lot of new roads, bike trails, foot hiking trails, and the canal that snakes throughout neighborhoods like Greentree, Gaslight Village, and other areas also runs through South Field which then flows into Weymouth Great Pond reservoir which is where all of the running water comes from. This canal also has a wide open section that resembles a small reservoir lake where wild life likes to haunt. There are a lot of types of wildlife lurking everywhere: wild turkey flocks, orals, gold finches, Eastern Coyotes, foxes, wild geese, sparrows, hawks, kestrels, blue jays, cardinals, robins, ducks, herons, cranes, seagulls, feral cats, lots of rabbits, skunks, and moles. Probably lots more, but those are the most common ones I've seen. The best times of year to shoot photography are on sunny days in the spring (which are rare) because the sakura cherry blossoms are in bloom. But hurry, because the rain comes out of nowhere and knocks the petals down quickly. Summer is pretty good as well, but you will get a different look earlier in the summer than middle and end. The fall is also a fantastic time to shoot photos. It's usually pretty warm in the fall as well. Some people tell me they like sledding here in the winter. But, I never do that. I don't like the cold. Unfortunately, there used to be shaded picnic tables by Shea Field Memorial Grove, but some cold heartless demon chained them upside down after Hurricane Sandy, and then finally got rid of them. So, no picnics for you guys! Hmph! But, there's a dog park with portable restrooms now, and you can also go to the Aircraft Hanger now called "The Hang Out" and get drunk if you have cash. There's events here every weekend. You can also ride your bike, and the set from "Ghost Busters" is around here as well.

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.

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.

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...
