Got here Saturday morning for a soccer match. What a surprise. Such a stunning park. With tons of parking but most of all amazing trails and opportunity to enjoy a perfect fall morning. This place could easily be anywhere in good old England. Thanks for preserving this area!!

Was an extremely pleasant stroll throughout the gardens here today. Small areas where you can sit in the shade. You go early enough you can snatch a table where if you bring your cooler etc you can just relax, chat and enjoy a very zen surrounding area. Just please clean up after urselfs. Adults are $10 a ticket and they have posted 12 and under enter free.

Went kayaking here, quite pleasant! Turn right after the first bridge (one way road) and the launch point is all the way around the loop just past the second, small bridge. There will be a small parking lot with a fence and grass field, you can look on the satellite view of the map to see it. To the far right hand corner is the kayak/canoe launch point, although it is down a small embankment (pictures for reference.) Bring bug spray!FYI the water can be a bit shallow at some points, especially towards the waterfall, but still passable.

Really good place and theres a real great class someone runs on the fields! ;) Cant understand the holiday signs though haha

Well maintained beautiful gardens. Restrooms. $10 admission for 12+.

A beautiful old estate of the early 1900s on the Charles River. It has a small wooded trail, canoe access and soccer fields. The central part is fenced off and controlled by the Massachusettes Horticultural Society, which charges admission to its beautiful flower gardens. There is a very nice sledding hill for the winter. Several special event occur throughout the year. A good place for weddings and other functions.

Nice place to see and learn about growing a garden. The kids garden was the best, lots of nice nooks for kids to explore. Great Free Friday activity and will return before next years Free Friday.

Lovely gardens and a well groomed walking trail along Charles River. River walk is great for leashed dogs, garden is off-limits for pets.

A celebration of life was held here. It was a nice, open-air event during a pandemic.

Great place to walk or hang out with large sports fields. They also have flower gardens you can pay to walk through. Also have function facilities to hold events like weddings..

Well maintained. Autumn colors give this place an aura.

Beautiful grounds, endless varieties of flowers and trees to enjoy. $10 admission, well worth it!

Great for walks and canoeing. Quiet and peaceful.

Nice place for a walk. Plenty of dog friendly area here too.

Hyper-swank park but not very natural.

Take a good rest with family.

Beautiful place to go. There are gardens and trails.

Pretty, flowers, nice fields. Too many fences.

Nice big area for walking, picnics, outside meetings and sledding

I visited Elm Bank for a wedding and I really liked it. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The trees and all the plants look great. They had their wedding ceremony in front of the big fountain with the fish spitting out water. The staff was very nice and attentive to all of our needs. I spoke to the manager to get the wifi password since the AT&T cell coverage was so poor. They had the reception afterwards at the Hunnewell building and had a bar and dancing behind the building in a big tent. This place is a great spot to have weddings, I would recommend it to anyone that lives in the area. My only complaint is that the tent where the dancing happened was a little too small and was kind of crowded. Other than that the venue was absolutely perfect.

Beautiful and extensive and varied gardens.

Really nice place to walk and even have a picnic! Beautiful view

Lots of shady paths! Beautiful woods with a river!

A park with ample space to play, relax, have fun. For the elderly who cannot sit on the ground, there are a few wooden benches at the end of the park.

This park is a local treasure with playing fields, sledding hill, childrens play area, trails, and wedding/event venue. There are no facilities that I am aware of though so plan ahead.

Beautiful out of the way gardens.

Great walking and lots of parking. No fees unless

Beautiful woodsy wedding venue. Attentive pampering staff. Great location convenient to hotels

Beautiful gardens and grounds, cultural events upcoming

Great water adventure awaits!

Beautiful park! Highly recommended anytime of year. This place is huge and very peaceful.

Great place had a great walk around the area

Open only May 3 – October 13 during the whole year. And even between this dates might be unexpectedly close for wedding or other special event.Besides that the place is beautiful.

Wide space to walk around and enjoy nature. They also got a nice garden. Plus the lake next to trail. Love this place.

Beautiful gardens in a wonderful setting

Always beautiful. Enjoy gardens everytime Ive been. Lovely place for events.

The Massachusetts Horticultural Society park entrance. A one way bridge over the Charles River in late October.

I love the scenery, The walk are amazing.

Nice place to spend an afternoon. Large park with a variety of plants and flowers. Many picnic tables around the compound.

Very nice soccer fields, beautifully maintained pitches. Decent amount of parking in a few spots.

Good times

Great trails and scenery. In inclement weather you can walk the mile long road around the complex.

Great place for a day in the gardens with beautiful views and/or programs offered for the whole family.

A wonderful slice of nature within a more urban like area. Walking trails, dog walking, gardens

Beautiful place to explore and enjoy the gardens. 10 dollar fee to enter and so worth it. Great spot for weddings and photography.

Great place to spend tge day with family and friends

Extensive gardens with lots of different plants, too many to label adequately. There is a tour three times a day with a very knowledgeable guide who has worked with plants for decades. In spots the gardens were not as lush as others. The manor house has fallen into disrepair, but since no one has any use for it, nothing is being done to prevent further decay. Unfortunately, it will cost millions to restore it to its former glory. The park itself could use a large infusion of cash to build a better access road and bridges that a bus could cross, which would enable bigger groups to visit. The employees and volunteers seem very dedicated and hardworking.

Gorgeous garden area and some very friendly walking trails along a beautiful section of the Charles.

Great trails and wide open fields

Went for a wedding, great bar, great food and dancing! The grounds were immaculate as well.

Beautiful.

Great trail on the Charles. Lots of space for dogs to run around, a nice little swimming area for hot days (for dogs), and plenty of alternative trails so you never have to walk the exact same path twice. Great for trail running too AND there is a kayak/canoe entrance to the river with a nice little parking lot. There are big open fields that have soccer games in the spring/summer/fall. The horticultural center is here as well if you want to see some beautiful flower arrangements and landscaping. Elm Bank has it all!

Nice place for pick nick, large soccer fields. Too bad that the mansion known as Elm Bank is falling apart. The careless of the state with its historical places is unbelievable.

Beautiful garden and very relaxing place.

Great place for my agencys annual picnic with hundreds of people in a beautiful location.

Perfect day. Spacious park

Beautiful place to see flowers, herbs and gardens. Its amazing we have this wonderful spot right in front of our eyes. Long walk in the woods is safe and feels like a fairy tale. Epic walk with date or just alone!

The Christmas Trees and Trains are fantastic

Attended a wedding there! Elm Bank is a beautiful place, that is part of the Massachusetts Horticulture Society. It is a wonderful place to take a walk and enjoy the acres of beautiful trees and landscape.

Very beautiful place

Beautiful grounds. A little off the beaten path when getting there from 95 North. Went there for an event and the caterers ran out of food. Not a big deal because I had been grazing on the apps but some were unhappy.

Beautiful soccer fields.️

I just wished the gardens were open to the public free of charge

Beautiful gardens. Or just a nice place for a walk.

Wine tasting event. Parking was okay. No AC in tent. Not as crowded as last year, better crowd control this year. Food outside was a good idea and keep room cooler.

Lovely Gardens, especially a very creative and fun to explore Childrens Garden. Interesting historically as well. Free native plant seeds during planting season during planting season . Truly a hidden gem as there are other things on this property and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society sign directing you to the gardens and entrance is hidden by flowers!

Nice park by the river. Good place for dog walking and picnics

Ive always loved this place. Great trails.

Great place to walk dogs. Not recommended when snow. Trails in the woods along Charles River, very nice. Dogs love it

The grounds are lush and well tended.

Elm Bank is great! I was told about elm bank when I moved to Natick. A great walk to do with your dogs. Do beaware a lot of people let their dogs run loose, which usually isnt a problem. So glad its finally warming up to be able to get outside for some fresh air!

Its absolutely amazing

Attended a wedding here and it was truly beautiful! Worth a return visit just to walk through again. Dogs are allowed and plenty of parking on site.

A well run facility. Nice place for meetings.

One of the best soccer fields in Wellesley

Lovely place!

The gardens are just beautiful. A wonderful place to walk around and savor nature.

Great place for a wedding!

Just a great place. Wether you are trying to have a wedding, birthday party, or any other social event. The scenery is beautiful, and the trails are fun to walk along. I reccomend this place to everybody and anybody looming for a quiet place to relax. 5/5 every time

Nice but its very run down from what it used to be

Great place!

Very scenic historical site, once home to Quinobin vocational school. Now owned by Massachusetts Horticultural society. Has an amazing abandoned mansion with extremely large upkept gardens, a zen type garden with water feature, historic statues, herb garden, prized flower gardens, large soccer field, boat launch to the Charles, historical information center, gift shop, all tied together with walking paths. There is a large trail around the peninsula in a wooded area. Has lots of events here such as flower shows, antique shows, gardening classes, Christmas tree festival. Worth checking the website for happenings. Very busy place in the nice weather.

Peaceful

Went for the Christmas display. The snow village was mind boggling. My wife loved the 80 Christmas trees with a wide variety of decorative styles.

Wonder full visit to Elm Bank! A place of serenity, a place for children and adults to enjoy.

Beautiful spot. Trail hiking and riding in the woods, walking in their gardens. Great for location photography too.

Great fields for any kind of sport you can think of. Also they have a small but interesting set of trails for a brief walk by the river.

Good soccer fields... good programs

Most beauriful gradens around. Some nice works of art sculptures done with steel and aluminium.

Great garden!

I love this place

Very nice gardens ..wedding venue

Beautiful area for dog walking, shirt walks with kids and bird watching.

Absolutely beautiful peaceful harmonious Zen!

Great soccer venue, nice hiking trails & Mass Hort display gardens

Nice open space with a lot of recent renovation. Can be less fun when the field is being used for soccer games. Still no access to the old. Mansion.

Beautiful in the fall. Great experience participating in the Columbus weekend soccer tournament held here by Natick Youth Soccer.

Beautiful grounds and gardens. The MA Horticultural Society has created a little gem just off the beaten path.

Its a beautiful place to experience nature especially with your loved one

So much Peaceful moments walkin around
