Okay, let’s just start with one day I was in a mood to jog. And I happen to cross this place. And to my surprise, what an amazing view, place, restaurants, shopping malls and oh yes, totally forgot my lovely time for a jog. I recommend everyone to go there if you are in a mood to hang out, eat and shop. You won’t regret it

I love coming here. It’s a great place for a walk, for a run or even to bike. There’s a rowing team that lets you learn how row in the river. Usually every time I am there, there’s plenty parking available. Just remember that the park closes at dusk, before that, it’s a great place a workout or just some time alone near the water (don’t swim though).

This park has a couple small dog parks but the trails are where it is at! The trails are well maintained and the reservation is large enough to maintain social distancing.

I was impressed. A big green clean park. A lot of bike trails, walking trails near the river. Green cut grass. Even an interactive vertical xelophone for the kids.

Large open park with the ability to cut through the grass to avoid maskless people. Has great views as well, with one spot being a cool lookout tower

This is a great place to kayak. If you come in spring you will see herons, hoards of baby ducks, and by june there will be lots of water lilies, which have a small resurgence later in the summer. lots of dragonflies, as well. one can kayak all the way from blessing of the bay to mystic lakes!

Nice place to take a peaceful stroll amongst a relatively busy neighborhood. Beautiful old trees, birds and squirrels. A nice stroll along Mystic River with the odd Mute Swans swimming along with you. Good paths for wheel chairs and strollers as well.

I like the walk over at the Jr. High & Grade schools. Wish it was easier to have my pup off leash more there though. There are however, 2 new fenced doggie parks there & that is great! He loves playing with other dogs!

For living in the city it is nice enough, but not outstanding views or anything. Its the mystic and the water front area needs to continue to be cleaned up.

This hidden little treasure is beautiful. Growing up in the area it was a terrible lot of untouched land where people would go for consensual (or non) sex. Its also yet to be found by junkies. Its beautiful.

A medium-sized park with some nice walking trails. Just large enough to get you away from the noises of the street, which is a pleasant surprise in this dense an urban area. Check out the watchtower for a view of the river.

My favorite park in the Medford/Somerville area! This park is so underrated I dont know know why I dont see more people there! There are so many nice places to sit on the grass and relax or chill for a picnic. Great views of the mystic river and lots of places to explore in this vast park. Im grateful to the town of Medford for keeping it in order. Dont miss the awesome observation tower on the west side of the park!!!
