A well arranged (and maintained) park with safe areas for kids parties, sporting events, outdoor gatherings, basketball, tennis, lap track walking/running and gardening. Public bathrooms, ample trash recipticles and modest public parking round out its appeal.

Skate park was not great... Ramps uneven or not on the ground and the ground is all cracked, had to keep ollieing over cracks....Yet a lot of open field and water park (small) so ya it was ok

I’m writing specifically about the skate park. My husband and I are new skateboarders and we’re really disappointed in the maintenance and cleanliness of the skate park, tennis, and squash courts (all next to each other). With all the construction, the community is merely an afterthought - dirt everywhere, huge cracks with grass growing out of them, rocks, food and other trash on the ground, etc.I’m so grateful to have a skate park near my home but the maintenance is just terrible. I truly hope that the caretakers of the park take their commitment to the community more seriously.

Candidate for worst skate park in MA. Put some of that shopping mall construction into the park behind the mall.

Far out via the bus from town. Lots of small children at skate park. Obsolete

Good place to bring toddler to splash park & playground. Not too crowded. On down side: not kept up *quite* as well as possible, & too many goose droppings.

An underused but very good park. Perfect for my toddler. Adult accessible structures and low and high slides for all ages.

This beautiful park has every you need for a birthday party. We held our daughters 7th birthday with a large ground. They had tons of activities to do from getting wet at the water sprinklers to the play grounds and soccer fields and tennis courts. Everything was great.

A park with many options (grilling out with covered seating or traditional picnic tables, skating, basketball, fields for soccer, Ultimate-Frisbee, cricket, croquet, and frolicking, because, why not) Very near the Charles River. Great park. Come on down and have some fun because You miss 100% of the fun you dont pursue.

As the entrance is invisible, outside people are very few. Its quiet and lawn is well maintained. Great for kids under 10.

Definitely a clean and welcoming park, but the skate park is a wreck

Nice park, with plenty of areas to grill and have large gatherings. Playground plus water feature makes it very popular with little kids. Plenty of open space for walking or sports activities.

Its a pleasant patch of green tucked away behind a mall that includes the skate park, a walking path, covered and uncovered picnic tables, and fields with a softball diamond. Surrounding trees help to insulate the park from the greater suburban environment.

If you are from out of town, it is not worth the drive. If you live within 30 minutes come on over and have a session. The skatelite is in good shape, the flatbox is a good height for learning new tricks, the flatbar is fun and the overall vibe is light. Plenty of smooth flatground with the basketball courts around.Sadly, the city has given up on maintenance of the park, therefore it is up to skaters to add new features and fix the cracks. If you are there in Summer of 2016, hopefully the main cracks are still filled in.Enjoy.
