The last time I came here, yesterday, there was garbage all over the place. It looked like someone built a park in a dump. It breaks my heart because people put effort into building this place and it seems like nobody cares. 8 Garbage cans in one park and nobody uses them. There was leftover chinese food on the ledges, empty bottles in the bowls. Just an overall really disgusting place to spend a day. Stop being such slobs locals. Are you really too lazy to walk a few feet to a bin? It's a nice park to ride. With so many crappy pre fab parks why would you trash one with such potential? http://www.tablesandfables.com/2012/03/dump-park-by-stuart-scipione.html

Perhaps the word I'm looking for is 'compartmentalized'... "I like the taco!" Frank said, adding the Volcano is also a nice feature. But he has "nothing" in the bowl according to his girlfriend, Chok. "Front board down the hand rail first try = Thai Dinner," hollered Carl, to Gustav, who also likes to skate the three-block, but rarely goes that often living in the city. But when he does venture out he films...at the skatepark. See what I mean? If you don't then just go, its fun to try and flow from one end to the other; the bowl will always have a session there if you can start one. Try and do some thinking-mans-skateboarding to find some non-ABDs here and impress chitlins. Warnings: get there early if you want to skate the curved ledge on the left; bring deet for the locals; little-league parent walk-thrus will happen here...

Spent 2 hours walking around the main trail and enjoying the views of green trees. The air was fresh and there were a few people walking along. Park closes at 7pm!

This is a large park with a really nice playground and also access to great trails for walking. One…read morething that really sets the playground apart from others is the large sand pit with a huge selection of digger trucks and other sand toys that kids can use. The only downside is the playground is right by the water and not fenced in...the view of the water from the swings is very tempting to young children. Of course when I needed to help one child the other ran straight into the water. If there was a fence around the playground to make it easier to keep kids from running toward the water, I'd definitely give this place five stars.

Perfect for cooking off on a hot day. The splash area is fenced in with one entrance/exit which is also convenient for parents who want to sitervise. There is also a sanded volleyball net, a basketball court and a large field. There are bathrooms but I didn't use them so can't speak to their cleanliness. One major con is there is no shade and little seating. I would suggest bringing a lawn or beach chair that has its own canopy.

I love this park! (even though I don't like the outdoors haha)…read more This park is beautiful. They have a huge playground with things for very little kids and big kids to play on. They have a skateboard area. They have basketball courts. There is a baseball field and a couple areas where kids play soccer. The biggest reason I love this place is their walking track and trails. The track is 4 times around for a mile. They have a sign posted to tell you how long the trails are. There are also some paved walkways around the whole park. This park is always kept immaculately clean and is always packed! It is often hard to find parking. The other great thing about this park is that they spray for mosquitoes quite frequently so it is never very buggy here even with all of the woods and some marshy type areas.

We parked in the lot for the ski touring, crossed the road, and were on our way. We did the North and South loop of the Acorn trail, totaling about 2.5-3 miles.

Plus, it's super convenient to access - we were coming from Newton and it was a pretty seamless link from the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway. It's about 14 miles from the Alewife T to the Bedford Depot, with plenty of on/off points (I particularly appreciated the 0.5 mile markers). The path hits a number of cool parks and historical landmarks, including Spy Pond, Arlington Great Meadows, Lexington Center, Parker Meadow - you can certainly make a day of biking and checking out each of the stops. Plus, there are a number of places along the route to stop, take a break, and grab a bite to eat, including Kickstand, Wicked Bagels, Craft food hall, etc. That said, I would come as early as possible, especially when the weather's nice. The pathway gets congested and whether you're a cyclist or pedestrian, you need to be generally aware of your surroundings. I almost careened into someone when I was trying to pass him on the left and he veered right in front of me. Plus, you definitely have some cyclists who, let's say, seem to be trying out for the Tour de France. The path is generally smooth with some bumpy, rocky parts, as well as a few points where we had to cross a road and wait for a car to stop and let us pass.

This was not a one-time experience, but part of a recurring pattern I have encountered at New…read moreEngland Sports Center. During my most recent visit for figure skating, multiple front parking spaces were blocked by buses. One bus alone occupied approximately eight parking spots while the driver remained inside with the engine running. This significantly reduced access for paying skaters. When I reported this to the front office, the response was dismissive and unhelpful. I was explicitly told by staff that I "needed to park on the overhang on the hill," despite arriving with skating equipment and multiple bags. No attempt was made to assist, redirect the buses, or offer a reasonable alternative. The manner in which this was communicated was discourteous and left me feeling disregarded as a customer. Unfortunately, similar issues have occurred in the past. On a previous visit, the women's restroom was flooded, and the only accessible stall had ice-cold water. The facility frequently has an unpleasant odor, and overall cleanliness and maintenance appear to be ongoing concerns. Last year in the winter, I encountered a fall stepping out of my car in the parking lot because no maintenance was done to remove ice. Also, the ice is absolutely miserable and resurfacing not done on time, so we often don't get to skate the full 50 minutes that we pay 30 dollars for. As a figure skater - and especially being a woman that gets treated condescendingly and with absolutely zero respect, I have repeatedly felt unwelcome at this facility. Combined with poor parking management, inadequate maintenance, and consistently unprofessional interactions with staff, this creates an environment that does not meet the expectations of a major sports complex. I would expect far better organization, accessibility, and customer service. Until these issues are meaningfully addressed, I cannot recommend this facility.
