I am so impressed in what the neighborhood has done with this vacant lot. They have made it a place…read morefor children to play and families to gather. There's fresh vegetables growing in a community garden. You can walk by anytime on a nice day during daylight and see the children frolicking and having a great time. This is also a place where they have outdoor classes and some instructional lessons for the children. It also beautifies the street prior to this it was a vacant lot with dirt and rubble.

I am not sure what's going on. I had a review up for revere beach and I just posted a photo and…read morethere are no reviews so let's get started revere beach has been part of my life for the last 50 years. This is a fabulous beach back in the day you could cruise up and down in both directions for the entire length of the beach now everything is a one-way with a bunch of condos, and there's a little stretch left that's to weigh anyway when I was younger, there were a ton of rides arcades food stands I remember Joe Nemos, Rudolph's peppered steak, riding the cyclones, which was a wooden roller coaster left over from Revere's heyday they still had the bumper cars. The arcades were great not to mention all my high school years a little stint of lifeguarding on the beach but I grew up on this beach and it is 100% fantastic. I am not too happy about all the apartments in condominiums, but the beach itself is America's first beach for those of you that didn't know and it's also the most natural Crescent Beach in the country so come on down visit Revere Beach. Don't pay attention to the apartments. Just enjoy the sand in the water. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic day.

I am so happy that they made this beautiful and safe passageway from Congress to Summer. I didn't…read morecare to use the rusty stairs on Congress and A. They've done a great job and turning this into a pretty sweet green space too as the connecter to Harbor way. They even have cool events - like yoga on the steps all summer long. Once in a while they have other pop-up events so keep your eyes open for that!.

I just drove by Volk Park. I can't believe the park looks…read moreso great . I am extremely happy that it is still here and well kept . I have so many memories here Little League practice Pana football practice. This was the place. I have so many childhood memories that revolve around Voke Park. I think my first introduction to vogue Park was for C team Pop Warner football practice with Joe Leonard as my coach. There was so many memories here with all my childhood chums. We had Little League baseball games here . There is a small building in the front. I am not sure if it's the concession stand or the restrooms. We had neither back in the day. This would be a five star park if it actually had some parking . I'm not sure what parents do nowadays we used to just get dropped off or walk here all the way from Central Avenue the other side of the city. I'm sure people don't allow children to do that anymore. Anyway, I drove by. It just gave me a head full of memories. I'm gonna enjoy them for the rest of the night.

The grass is clipped short, the trees are still a little bare (it's only early May) but there is no litter and no graffiti. The bricks are all smooth and the benches are all intact. Very green, very comfortable, very nice.

Other than a couple of dead trees (that I'm sure the Cambridge DPW will chop out shortly) the place is pretty pristine, and is useful outdoor space to hang with your kid in while you're trying to avoid going into the Cambridge Galleria next door.

This is actually a five star walking path/bicycle path . The only reason I give it four stars is…read morethat when you get to the end, it turns into dirt and it looks a little sketchy going out into nowhere once you leave the Encore Boston harbor area. This is a fabulous place to hang out relax and enjoy the afternoon looking at the ocean. Encore Boston harbor has made this part of the path with a brick pathway about 12 to 15 feet wide. Steel chained along the ocean nautical presence. Beautiful gardens I would come just to see the gardens outside of Encore Boston harbor but this is a free path. You do not have to be a visitor of the hotel or casino. This is open to the public. Uncle Boston Harry also has a big dog that you can go down for the shuttle going back-and-forth to the waterfront downtown. I believe to the Marriott Long Wharf. There are a lot of benches to relax and sit down and enjoy the view day or night as uncle Boston Harbour has the whole place lit up bright. Definitely safe always full of people. This is a great place to come read a book or just sit for a half hour and become mellow. I suggest to bring a drink and a snack with you as there is no food for sale out here. If you happen to be coming from out of town and staying at Encore Boston harbor, you definitely want to walk around the building on this path. It is absolutely beautiful taking the gardens and make sure you bring your camera. Encore Boston harbor has a huge amount of free parking so don't hesitate to drive over there is a parking spot available.

Before and after work, dog owners congregate. Below the concrete bleachers on the park's north side, Independence Square abuts the Lee Playground. It's a good place to get a little sun, to 'have a catch,' to watch people play with their doggies, or just to walk through in the evening.

I also love visiting this park to walk the dog(s). We call it the M street park and it is well…read moreknown as a dog-spot. Every evening you can find dogs off-leash racing around the park. While it is great to get the dog some exercise that involves me standing still, I'm not as big a fan of this park as the one by Farragut. The dogs are bigger, faster and a bit more aggressive. The owners tend to be more hands off. It is rumored that around 7pm is the 'little dog' time, something we've found to be true. The layout of the park includes lots of sidewalks - perfect if you're practicing walking on a leash, less perfect if your dog races up to strangers, strollers, bikers, etc. The fenced in area with the children's playground is always populated during the day and I love the view of the cruise ships at port.
