"Most underrated park in Boston and great for bird spotting."
"Nice little park in Boston. Plenty of wildlife present. They're currently reviving the muddy River, so there's construction going on through a lot of the park, but I'm excited to see it when it's all finished up."
"I always get off at Ruggles station (Orange Line) walk past Northeastern university over Huntington Ave and past the Museum of Fine arts and through this park (a 5 minute walk) before heading down near Fenway Park. It's a nice little park. Safe and beautiful."
"Went on a stroll around the city and got to checkout Fenway Park, and came across this beautiful garden that is basically a mix of different garden ideas made by the people who purchase their land. Truly Beautiful. It's like The Secret Garden outside if Fenway Park"
"A phenomenally-beautiful area to walk, run, bike, and stroll! It’s the perfect lunchtime spot for a healthy way to move. You’ll be greeted by geese (and at the right time of season, their babies!) so be respectful and give them space! It’s a really great, somewhat private connection between the shops and restaurants in the Fenway area and the Longwood area where important buildings and medical care can be found. There’s also a beautiful, spacious running track and field where you’ll see students studying, people enjoying lunch, and others walking and running. I can’t say enough great things about this scenic, wonderful spot!"
