Wonderful open area... lots of space, and trails, well maintained. Brought my dog to walk. Lots of benches for relaxation.

This is a pretty large park, with scenic views and pretty quiet. The playground is under construction, so other than running around theres little external things for kids to expend their energy on. You could also fish here, and they have little stone stands with information on the kinds of fish youre most likely to catch here. The information stands on the history of the park, from its Native American origins to its use as an industrial hub, then to becoming a park, are well written and illustrative of the history of the area.

Got a good workout! Change of scenery. Views of the highway as you walk. Be careful of the underpass -wouldnt go through after dark.

Love this park. Safe, clean, and plenty of room for exercise and leisure.

I frequent here once a week or every other week. Its a great place to walk dogs, jog, play soccer, and even has a kids playground. The views are nice. Plenty of dogs on and off leash. People tend to be flexible and open minded about dogs off leash, though please keep yours on a leash if theyre aggressive or untrained. People are also good about picking up after their dogs. Long story short...please dont ruin it for the rest of us.The only reason for 4 stars is that its right next to 93. So youll have that road noise no matter what. Not exactly the type of serene sound to match the visuals.

Lots of people walking around the park but everyone is practicing social distancing, the park is huge. The air is clear on most days, perfect place to walk around.

This place is so peaceful to walk or bring the family to play at the park. Love it here!

Great place to walk. Large areas to sit on grass. Great place to ride bikes, roller skate, etc. Peaceful.

Beautiful and clean landscape and walking/biking trails. Great for someone that wants to get a few steps in but also perfect for family

I Love This place Fresh Air is free ?ocean breeze is great Everyone is friendly, it is wonderful to see families out and about (with masks on) Go have a family picnic, and bring your dogs, bikes, scooters, dollar blades, do your MARATHON there, very ️ ful

Great place. Would be 5 stars if the state did a better job of picking up after all the .... who litter or if people just did a better job not littering to begin with.

Great place to relax, picnic, walk, bike, play Frisbee, do yoga....loved it. 60 acres of relaxation.

Great place to walk or ride your bike and it has a park for young children

This is a decent bike park I would say with something for all age folks. Plenty of bike tracks and benches for taking breaks. Decent playground for kids. Parking is low and mostly occupied on busy weekends. Nice place for quick walks but noisy due to close proximity with 93.

Very peaceful. Was not very crowded, walkable. Dog friendly.

It is a great place for workout before the Boston Marathon. It is 1 mile from Ramada by Wyndham. Fantastic to all runners are in the hotel.

Great place to walk,play sports,spend time with your children at its play ground,picnic,and to take your pets.Still a safe area since its movie drive in days.

Love this park its so Clean and peaceful

Beautiful place. Great trails. I will definitely be back. The walkways are beautiful. The people seemed friendly. People picked the poop up. There was a huge soccer field that I definitely want to play on. It seems like a great place to get yourself together. My partner was happy to be here. There was a definite contrast between the Quincy side and Dorchester. I was very happy.

One of my favorite places to run

Very quiet and relaxing great place to begin your family also free parking

GREAT PLACE TO WALK AND RIDE YOUR BIKE

Excellent waterfront views and beaches. Lots of benches and tables for picnics etc. The walking path is really nice.

Great green space in the city. Quiet, large enough for a good walk or short run.Gazebos for large groups. Reasonably maintained.

Wonderful park! I love taking walks here with my family.

Great family place for bike rides, picnics and walks.

Ample parking and clean. Ready access to the trails nearby.

My childhood park. Love this place. Been around forever. Great place to walk, run, bike, read, eat, chill...

Great for a family bike ride

Nice to see the kites and its near Interstate 93 and the Red Line.

Great city escape. Lots of space to walk and take in the scenery.

Very quiet and peaceful

Its neat

Great walking on paved ground. Loops can vary in mileage depending on your choice. Absolutely no shade to provide any relief from the sun and heat. Stroller, kid wagon, and dog friendly.

Great park for kite flying. There are two main loops - the southern one has two nice pavilions with tables, and the northern one has these awesome roofed benches all along the walking trail, which is good because there isnt a lot of shade here. There are porta-potties by the northern entrance.

We popped off the Southeast Expressway [Exit 12, US93S] to stop for a quick in-the-car picnic. Great choice just for that, but its also a large park w/ rolling, grassy terrain, paved pathways. Dog walkers were loving it today. And probably most other days. Well be back!

You can walk, run or bike the trails of this park. They have expanded this area in several spots. Lovely to walk and ride bikes as its close to the water and the views are beautiful. There are fields for sports activities and well as playground and splash park for children. Beautiful park.

Good place to fly a kite. Generally quiet, good paths for walking and pavilions for picnics.

Great place to walk bike ride rollerblade kites drones helicopter planes

Great place! Can do walking, cycling, rollerblading; playground for the kids, athletic field for soccer and other team games; trails for the dogs (dog park rules posted); great for bird watching; boating, fishing, dogs can swim at one area and fetch in the water - u can join them if want.

Very, very, very serene place--safe place to walk, just relax, ride bikes--there are picnic areas--play/water sprinkle areas for children--friendly people/pets are well behaved, owners handle them well--very clean, very well kept--people respect and appreciate this park--I surveyed the land and the walk path goes for miles and miles in both directions (towards downtown Boston and Milton/Quincy) AMAZING!!

Absolutely the best open walking park around! Clean, quiet and beautiful space. My dog and I walk here whenever we can.

This park was a beautiful place to walk and throw a frisbee. You can walk down these winding path near water. You can sit at these beautiful pagodas. And there’s a big open field perfect for frisbee, soccer, or anything else.

My favorite therapeutic place. Just sit in a gazebo and let nature talk to you.

I love this place. It is a very relaxing peaceful spot.

Quite and beautiful view

Architecually design park obstructs hwy. Great escape spot from the city. Also saw a bald eagle being chased by a flock of sparrows!!

Great access to the Neponset River Greenway. Lots of safe parking.

Great park to exercise and relax.

One of the nicest ways to spend an afternoon. It is beautiful out there today.

Parked and ate lunch, its ok,

Do we need to make any reservations or pay any fees to play soccer in the ground? I went once and saw a few school kids playing so i am not sure if anyone can use an empty field and play?

Great place to have soccer games, I have been to this park 2 times for a school program Boston Scores, and there is a celebration where we call it Jamboree and we go there against all schools with the same program just got home, and loved it.

Very good place

The park was pretty on the marsh, and has running/bike paths in good condition and a large open field for sports. However it was difficult to get to and didnt have a great view of the city. Also the highway is right next to it. But still good use of space

Great place to walk your dog!! Very well kept grounds. The paved path is great for runners(lol wouldnt know) or bike riding.

Very well kept. Lovely place for an evening stroll with the family.

Great place to go walk or ride a bike or even just to kick back and relax for a while

Its a great park, I run here all the time. It has great paths and is a very relaxing scene.

We got at least once a week to take our pup! Love this park and how clean and well maintained it is.

Nice place to walk ride a bike rollerblade,fishing flying kites

A well hidden park frequented by locals with dogs, the Pope John Paul II Park gives you a decent sea breeze and a decent view, too.Watch your footing, lots of dogs there probably leave a few of their own marks. And there are more than a few beer cans left on it.Its a great place, but an even better place for a trash pick up. I see this place having a lot of potential.But, the paved areas are very nice for a run!

My favorite place to take my son on a bike ride! We can ride from Hallett Street all the way to Mattapan Square without ever touching a road!

Love the park, very peaceful, I hope that they bring the summer movies back

Great place for dog walking

Great park to walk around with your dog, nice view and plenty of space, looks amazing when theres snow.

Great place to walk your dog, take a run, ride a bike or fly a kite!

Best Park in the neighborhood. It has a play ground for the kids, a huge field that teams, kids and family utilize for soccer and football practice. Awesome area to picnic on lawn, perfect for kite flying and family also do fishing. The park has a huge trail for joggers and walker that wants to stay fit. The trail doesnt begin and ends at the park. Its a huge trail that runs into at lease three town, cant give you exact details you would have to check it out. Perfect for bike riding also. The park also has porter potties located in different areas around the park. Awesome park for the family. Every now and then in the summer months they also have movie nights. Check it outlots of parking too

An excellent place to go for a walk, jog, or bike ride. There is a playground, some picnic tables under roofs, and a fields of grass. Baseball games are common here. This place can be a nice breath of fresh air, despite being surrounded by the busy streets and highways of Boston. Parking is plentiful, making this park very accessible.

Great of the charts my kids got to flyer kites on the big Open feild.

Nice views. Good for walking or running. People are friendly.

The area where the kids play need to be renovated .

Big

Great place to hang out.

Nice and clean

Amazing view

I work at this park as a Park Ranger. Very nice park. Very quiet jogging and bike paths; youth soccer field by permit only, shade shelters, picnic areas special events for Families (check web site for rules and regulations ).

Great place to go for a walk or jog

Nice park quiet plenty open area to just sit relax walk ride a bike. Not a very busy park but its was worth the time to go. Could use little more care or up keep. Maybe a restroom.

Love taking walks here

Excellent place for a good game

I love the park! Peaceful, wonderful for walks by the river at sunset or sunrise, running, biking, its really nice. Beautiful green space! Friendly safe up and coming neighborhood.

Love biking here!

Large meandering park that follows the neponset river. Spacious, open, kids love it. Several parking area along the length. There are full sized soccer fields, and a baseball field together with a river front walking/biking path.

Is a nice place to take the kids there a playground and doing the month of August they use to have movies for free but check w/parks dept. this year.

Great for walks/jogs alone or with your dog numerous trails and pretty chill place

Beautiful park to visit. No parking around. Nice place

Awesome place.

Its a nice place to walk, and theres benches if you want to sit and just enjoy the view.

Tranquility, you are able to let your mind relax then breathe. Best off site back yard EVER!!! Lol!

Love walking around this park

I like the jogging/bike trails here. It connects you all the way from Dorchester to Lower Mills. Lots of nice little loops around the inside of the park, too.

Excellent area for biking running and walking, or having a picnic with friends.

Nice wide open spaces and relative quite for being so close to the hustle and bustle of the city.

Good city view.
