I really want to give this place a five star rating - the little community garden plots, the walks, the oval, the rose garden - the Fens packs a punch for variety. It has a downside though, with the homeless people living in the riverbank.

We came here on a snowy day October 30th. It was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately parts of the sidewalks were closed so it wasn’t very pedestrian friendly.

Im a veteran who respects those who did not come back home. This is a great memorial. One down side is that someone decided to grafitti it and also there were used hypodermic needles laying around. I pray that both of those issues could be addressed.

Everythings fine but there are no parking spaces available or are difficult to find, and no public restrooms.

We lived here for 6 years and recently moved. By far, the fens are one of the things about Boston we will miss a lot. It is a treasure in the middle of an urban setting. Do not miss the Fenway Victory Gardens if you are around this area.

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!

Its a very nice area to go to if you have never been before.

Community garden very well taken care and very easy to walk around and appreciate the beautiful work people have been doing there.

Very nice place to walk around and see all of the gardens in the Fenway Victory Gardens.

Great view of the city skyline, the boston park department is doing a great job keeping the ground safe and clean. The muddy river project is a great addition to the city. I am glad it is done and being maintained by the boston parks and emerald necklace along with other stakeholders.

Nice park adjacent to backside of the musuem of fine arts and walking distance to Fenway. Has memorial, rose garden, playgrounds, fields, and wide walkways where bikes scooters have plenty of room to pass walkers. The downside is drug addicts frequent this park, in particular the marshy area behind the victory gardens.

Great riverway trail in between buildings!

Not a bad place to walk around or enjoy lunch. Its very close to Boylston st. and there is free parking sometimes along the Fens.

Great natural oasis in the city, with flower gardens, secluded spots, and monuments and statues to check out

Its nice and surrounded wit lots of students.

A great location to play basketball, run, socialize your dog and relax.

Beautiful gardens and scenery!

Nice big park, beautiful trails and places to sit and picnic or throw a stick for the dog! Lots of rabbits in the bushes!

Love going to get fresh air and and walk around the Back Bay Fens. Its full of community gardens that are beautiful to look at while walking through it

This park is AMAZING. It’s a great place for a walk to get a little nature in the big city.

Beautiful Peaceful Clean, chill,Great view all around.Trees,gardens,statues,lakes,ducks ..so pretty! And NO BUGS

Had a great time spending time with nature

If I had to describe this park in a word, I would use tranquil. Always quiet and relaxing, great for a run.

Beautiful Public Park surrounded by pre war buildings.Host gardens that are maintained by private citizens that are little oasis in the city.There are some natural reeds that play host to drug users and homeless, so beware.

Star light, star bright.

I live in the Fens. In the winter it’s like the suburbs.. Watch out here come the RED SOX! Which we are big fans of! We love living in The Fens! Walk to everything from here.

There was a lot of poop outside the turf, but the field is very nice. Very busy.

Beautiful new flower garden near the fens. Highly recommend for a walk, closer to the turf field. Im speaking of the new Rose Garden with beautiful roses and walking paths shaped out in meditative curves. Worth a visit if you are nearby:)

Awesome place to workout outdoors!!

One of the best view in Boston

A lake, some ducks... but the place isnt in a good shape. Rests of cigarettes and even some syringes on the lawn.

Lovely park, part of a system of parks in Boston known as the Emerald Necklace.

Its magnificent although with the caronavirus, everyone is a bit skiddish.

Nice turf fields for many different sports and activities.

A bit mad with major excavation going on through 2022

Perfect place to chill!

The place is nice but isn’t that clean.

Always peaceful park n lively in summer. You can enjoy morning walk/run just seating somewhere n enjoy good weather also memorial in it.

Pretty park.

This is my Zen place. Beautiful, peaceful

Absolutely gorgeous garden spaces!

The picture is exactly where I was. Nice relaxing place in the city to eat lunch or have a beer.

Good Ground to play any sport in Fenway!!

I wish they would fix the turf field. Its been unfinished for half the summer.

Great place for walk with the wife and kids

Great urban park. Diverse patches of natural and landscaped greenery, water and monuments keep it interesting to walk around.

Check out the Rose garden

Its a nice yard. The park is great for out door activities.

As part of my physical rehab I walk from Huntington ave.,cross the fens, head down Jersey street, do one lap around Fenway Park then head back the way I came. Stop me if you see me hobbling around the Park with my cane. BE ADVISED... I am 100% deaf,so youd have to wave me down to get my attention.

Nice park, very spacious. Too bad theres always geese in the paths though

Beautiful park. Tons of good service poop.

Nice place to take family members from out of state

So beautiful, and the private gardens are super interesting.

A great park to stroll through. Theres a field and some basketball courts that get used quite frequently. Ive heard its not the nicest place to be at night time, and there are a lot of geese around, but the gardens are very pretty.

All the paths are super dangerous to walk, bike, or skate. My son rode his bike into a huge pot hole . Poor kiddo... Please BPW we the people of Boston beg you to repave the paths...

Its one of the gems in the emerald necklace that adorns our city.. With great thanks to our landscape artist Fredrick law Olmsted who had the great vision to connect 9 parks in a continuously

Its a beautiful place the victory gardens are amazing and the park is safe till its dark

Nice to walk through the park, but be wary at night as its not lit up very well

Nice spot, the reeds can feel sketchy after dark but as long as youre on pavement its fine. Really nice for an evening or morning jog or walk.

Nice place but lots of geese poo

This place is fun. I met some cool ppl

So nice to be able to get away from the city into a green park.

Great for walking.

The Fens is a fantastic park. If the city could remove at least some of the geese (along with the goose poop land mines) I would give it 5 stars.

Just redone however still undergoing reperations that obstruct enjoyment of the field fully

Every neighbourhood should have something like this. Rose garden is wonderful.

Get out the meat market because thats just what it is.

Absolutely beautiful. A must see walk

Not a bad park. Still waiting for the garden to open, then itll be really nice

Nice place to enjoy your day, walk, read or play any kind of sport with your friends. I think it is really good for birding and other wildlife. Pets friendly. Park is nicely maintained, clean paths and some benches for seating. Great for families with kids.

Lovely place to visit. Family friendly.

Great place to be when one has to enjoy the nature.Beautiful and soothing

Looks nice but no parking.

Nice park to spend an afternoon laying on the grass, contemplating the Brook or playing basketball in the two courts in its center. Can get a little bit sketchy at night tho

Such a little gem within Boston. Took my grandparents here for a stroll and it was just perfect.

Love the area what a great place to take a walk and just relax...love it there cant wait to go back.

Better in the spring and summer the garden is a must see just not at night

Relaxing spot with garden and war memorial.

Its a nice peaceful place but its secluded

DINER OR A PARK? SEHDH hseshs heeds ipw hide hddvi

So pretty and peaceful, love to watch the ducks and geese in the water.

Beautiful place. Will visit again!

Beautiful place to take a walk. Watch out for the geese.

Good area for jogging.. be safe during night time

Peaceful but Canadian geese poop everywhere sheesh!!

Beautiful park space, ball court, track and large field

Really nice to walk around

Nice place

Silent and peaceful in the middle of a city hustle.

The flower and trees are in bloom and its looking beautiful

Meh, the homeless people living there kind of detract from the intended esthetic of the area.

Its a beautiful place, especially the river that runs through. I like to take walks on peaceful days and just enjoy the atmosphere. Its also nice to see the occasional wildlife. Not the geese though.

This garden is really charming, divided up into small, individually owned plots from back in the victory garden days, when families were given small plots to farm to help the war efforts. Each garden has a unique vibe, some like small japanese zen gardens, others with tiny doors leading into enchanted rose gardens, and still others filled with straightforward lines of vegetables or flowers set around a few chairs for lazing in the sun. Theres some muggy water nearby that can be pretty to walk around too.

A good green space in the city. I enjoy being able to walk here and just take a break from the city.

Quiet place

Wonderful place during the day. Go see the pond from any beautiful view. Enjoy the beautifully up kept garden and friendly animals. Go see the WWII Memorial. Also a great place to smooooke.

Such a beautiful spot in the city for a walk!

When people arent hanging out and doing nothing but smoking weed and making the place stink its a very nice park

Beautiful park with a lovely rose garden, ducks, geese, and bunnies, not to mention the Muddy River and tall trees to create a desirable retreat from urban life. Wonderful part of the Emerald Necklace!

The views spectacular at all the times!
