Children’s splash pad is the best. The easy walking trails and wide meadows are great for getting outside with a stroller, bike, or your friends for a walk. The stream running through the park is serene and peaceful !

Serene. Nearby. However, lots of dogs off leash.

Great place for the kids. The new play structures are great for younger and older kids. The splash pad is always a hit. New sprayers make for more fun. Nice paved pafhs beyo d are great for walking.

A wonderful place to spend a day with family and friends. You can do little hiking, suitable for kids too. More importantly you can bring your own grill to do BBQ, but you have to stay in designated picnic area.

This park is a beautiful place to walk around and explore. My dog absolutely loves it here!

Great place for children. They have a spray park and playground. There is a big field for ball games and picnics. There is also a creek that is nice but has lots of rocks. Tennis courts by the parking lot and lots of fun trails.

Good place for family hicking, kids can always find alot of ways to have fun here

Good for the small semi-urban park that it is. Dont travel far to ride here, though.

I’ve been on multiple hikes here with my girlfriend. Many different trails & plenty of space to bring a dog. Great place!

The geese LOVE to bathe here.

Great spot for a walk with the kids. Well maintained.

Enjoyed a Beautiful Day hiking through nature 10-minute walk from my house, you cant hate it!

Wonderful place to walk through the woods, with ponds, streams, and waterfalls. No bug problem at all today, June 18th. Watch out for poison ivy.

Great place to walk with kids

Beaver Brook Reservation is right off the road but, easy to drive past. Once you park, you can walk a few paths/trails. Ive only visited this reservation twice, so Im really not sure what else they have to offer. I do enjoy watching & listening to the falls though.

Nice dog park and playground well maintained

So many chipmunks and bunnies. Just a great way to spend the day with the family

Peaceful and there is plenty of parking...there is also a spray deck and playground for the kids

Sweet spot to go for a walk or bring the kids. Dog friendly park and recently renovated play area. Ice cream truck stops by in the summer as well.

Great park with wonderful structures for kids of all ages. Nearby stream and meadow

I cant find the words to explain how many feelings I was tasting yesterday in this paradise.

Great park for walking, picnicking, relaxing and dog running.

Amazing place and good for family trip.

Nice outdoor reservation. Good for walks with the family or a nature run

Great spot for the young ones to cool off.

Enjoyed a beautiful, low-difficulty trek through the Reservation on the well worn trail. Great for family members of all ages.

Very cool due to the brook and the tree shade, not much to do or see, but nice for walking.

A splash on a hot day with dad and grandad. (They didnt collect evidence of this, but splash parks are fun parks)

Beautiful park not only for kids and adults but for your furry friends. It is great if you want to workout a sweat. It has a great playground for kids and even picnic tables for your lunch.

Really good park at any season! Nice, renovated playground, spectacular views, pets friendly places. Were visiting and enjoying this place for a years, and I definitely can recommend this park to anyone.

The pond was almost empty, and that was nowhere near the worst thing. Walked over to the trail, and took the path to the left. When I got past the poison ivy to the stream, it looked nice (see 3rd picture) but the water was foul smelling. I went back up, avoiding extensive poison ivy, and took the path to the right. The walkway was heaved and collapsed, and very heavily overgrown. The second picture shows a nice view, but if you look carefully, you will see that most of the foliage is ... poison ivy. There is a great grind stone (3rd picture), but guess what is growing all over it?I am NOT going back.

Very rustic, overgrown, great nature spot in the city.

This is such a beautiful park! There is plenty of shade for those hot days and a small stream for you pup to drink from. An asphalt path surrounds the main area, ideal for running and biking. Several benches are also made available. My dog, Ada, loves this area!Parking is a disaster after about 10am on the weekends, however.

Great place to rip a bike!

Great outing for you and your dog

Such an idyllic space - very serene and restful. There are a lot of dogs around, though its never bothered us. The kids love to play in the water of the brook; it is so nice: shaded and cool

Some form of reservation with trees (in foliage 1/3 of the year, only), small rodents, several shades of green and brown, and mediocre views. Worth a visit for those who wish to escape the smell of spent fuel and burning rubber that exists in the city.

Sadly, this place is not maintained at all. Bushes along the path are completely overgrown, to the point where some paths are completely blocked off. Theres also a section at the start where they just put up a movable metal guardrail to block a path off where a bush has grown into.There is not much to this area, and the path to the waterfall is not much of a path. Its unfortunate, as the space is naturally pretty, but that means nothing when its hard to actually explore it. There is a nice field with some benches for picnics, at least.

A favorite place of dogs and children also I nice place for a jog or stroll.

Very pretty park. Grand old trees including an Elm and the last of the Waverley Oaks. Great place to let dogs run.

Beautiful walk in nature

Not huge, close to Boston though.

Great water park that turns on the water earlier than most places in the area which is wonderful for those warm days before school ends. Lots of pavillion space to accommodate several birthday parties if necessary. I like that the playgrounds to the side are close to each other so its easy to keep track of multiple kids. Its pretty clean and there are legit bathrooms! Parking is a pain but if the lot through the park is full there is street parking close by.

Great park for kids! Splash pad is large and the ground is the soft material that prevents falling injuries. There are rocks for sitting that one needs to be careful of though. A variety of play structures for different ages and a large shade are for adults!

Nice hiking and has a big part chat of grass for dogs to play also has a playground thats fun. I recommend this 5 star family and dog friendly place

One of the cleanest and spacious splash parks in the area, there is plenty of space for parties and general guests. My toddler always has so much fun when we bring him here.

Probably closest waterfalls to metro Boston~

Shady picnic by the brook on a hot day.

Great trails!

Best times to go 630am 1130 am

Best place to walk your dog. Serene.

Great park. Space to walk and run, for children to cool off in some water and for children to play on a great play structure.

Lovely place for a quick stroll but there are tons of areas of neglect. The path to the bridge is filled with potholes. There was a tree that fell on the bridge. This makes biking a danger and housekeeping maintenance is lacking. It’s s beautiful spot with a small dam and stream but I hope service upkeep comes around soon. it has potential to be a beautiful place to visit with the family.

I loved the wild life and the space where you can play in the brook water at ankle level. We took pictures there and I know they will come out beautifully

Great place. Plenty of parking, huge sprinkler park, play ground, and open field. People here are nice as well. Ice cream truck comes by during the summer.

There is a perfect place to catch bugs and spend time with the kids, but there is a path very scary to walk

We went there for a birthday party for a child, and it was a great experience. Kids enjoyed the water park, and all of us were comfortable socializing, sharing food and stories. It is a great place for a kids birthday party. Convenient location and comfortable setting.

Great trails

Great place, two parking lots off Waverley Oaks Road between Trapelo and Road to Bentley. A baseball diamond, a large open field on the other side of a valley and ridge, a wonderful Brook, and over a bridge to a newly refurbished sprinkler park. Lots of fun for all ages. A paged walking and exercise trail, a few hills, and lots of unpaved trails. Pleasant glens, wetlands, some wildlife.

Lively path ways to Walk around the little river!

Great for walking, running, hiking. Dog friendly. Has new kids playground and splash park adjacent to rest of park.

Great place for off the leash dogs and very beautiful

Nice park. Dogs can be off leash and owners are frequently optimistic about their dogs capabilities. My dig has been chased here more than once and now is a bit scared of the park.

Great place to take the kids for water play, three hours later the kids are ready for a nap. ;)

Nice that beaver walk

Nice little hiking spot! Thats all!

Good for a brief walk with the dog

Great place for lunch or just a quick stop from the city

Nice place for kids to play in splash park

Fun splash park for kids, nice playground. Has bathrooms and covered picnic tables

The best park in the neighborhood. Very safe, well maintained

Nice place for dogs and children to run around. Dog owners generally do a good job of cleaning up after their pets.

Great place to walk the dog. Dont go too close to dusk. Ive seen a xouple of of coyotes.

Beautiful but the trails are not well.maintained

Beautiful

Great trails ann nature walks

Great area for biking and picnicking. The splash pad is amazing and huge, right next to it is a medium sized wooden playground and sandbox. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables under a roof.

Great with or without a dog to walk

Great place to walk your dog especially when it snows. They always plow the trail and use no salt. Lots of spontaneous dog frolicking.

Narrow park just off the road in waltham. Its small but quiet. Good place for a quick walk along some trails.

This is a terrific park, with a great new play structure, spray park, picnic shelter, and public restrooms, but the public restrooms are only open during the summer months.

Great place for family and pets, very nice new spray dect for kids, during summer.

Tons of dogs here. There is also a great splash park and playground, and a few picnic benches scattered around the park. The park is kept very clean, and usually there is a brook flowing through it, though it tends to dry up towards the end of the summer. Lovely place to sit and read or just people/dog watch.

Nice park in two parts, divided in half by Trapelo Road. The northern part has the millponds and dams. The southern is more open and turned into a sort of a very nice dog park.

Pristine park for dog walkers and strolling. There is a baseball diamond, tennis courts, playground. In season the sprinkler park and stream with picnic tables are real favorites for day outings.

Take the kids to escape with the kids and not have to worry about a deep end at the spray deck. Big kids gravitate to others for water fights while the little ones are content to splash and play as well. Shade can be found at the trees that edge the spray deck and under the pavilion picnic area. Plenty of green space and places to run, picnic and play.

My favorite park to explore in the Waltham-Belmont area, have a look around the trails yourself!

Great park to take your dog. There is plenty of space and running water. Also many exercise paths.

Perfect for kids and dogs, they both love the easy access to play in the brook, great playground and spray park are right next to the big open field

Beautiful spot for a weekend stroll (esp with my cranky twin toddlers) :)

Beautiful spot in the middle of the city. Nice waterfall and plenty of great views.

This is a park. Good for jogging/walk. There is a playground which kids like very much to play water!

Nice and beautiful place to visit.

Kids love rocks kids love water kids love swings and playgrounds. Put it all together and what you got? This place baby

Nice park to go for a walk, there is also a playground and sprinklers for kids in the summer. It is a very popular park for people walking their dogs.

There are three completely separate areas to Beaverbrook Reservation. On Mill Street Belmont do not bring a dog.. On Trapelo is the childrens water Park and on Waverly there are two parking lots more for dogs.. One is right on Waverly and one is next to the tennis courts in Wilson Road.. The upper field (Wilson) is best for crazy dogs while the other leads to a big open field that then connects easily to the water park. Not much nature here pretty blighted. And nearby is industry thats polluted the water on the Waltham side. Great for dogs.

Beautiful place to walk and to spend time with your family.

Nice walk trail

Nice park for a long or short walk. Lots of trails. Bring a gps equipped phone.

Beautiful place to walk and explore, even nice to walk your dog, theres a bunch of little waterfalls not far from where you park thats really nice to just sit and watch
