"If you need to escape into nature in boston, this beats the public garden/common by a mile imo. For birders: there's a wood duck pair there that is very eager to show themselves :)"
"Great place for a stroll, great biking path away from.busier street -share respectfully with all users- and right in the E line. Currently and for another month there is a beautiful are exhibit by the Longwood T stop, by Studio without Wall featuring 16 beautiful art pieces."
"perfect place to go for a run, look at some ducks, and enjoy the scenery. it’s a little park tucked away from all view of traffic, so it’s quiet and nice, and in the fall the trees are soooo pretty."
"Biked here taking the sidewalk from Brookline near Corey Hill, then biked up and down both sides of the river, had a picnic, checked out the art, said hello to the geese. Only complaint, not worth taking off a star for this great destination, the access on the Boston end is poor for cyclists and pedestrians. I hope they are building a bridge or a tunnel for us-a level crossing for non motorists to access the mall and Fenway station isn't going to cut it. Build it and they will walk - connect Riverway Park and Fenway station!"
"Undoubtedly my favorite place in Boston. This place has nice spots for photography and taking a morning or evening stroll. You can see loads of runners and joggers in this area. Apart from that its an awesome, quite place. I went on the day of christmas and it was an amazing feeling. If you go here when there is snow, be careful . the snow over here is not generally cleared and therefore you may get into some risk."
