Hit this park a few months ago and things were fine. There was one kid on a scooter but him and his…read moremom hit the bricks when I busted my elbow open. It's a nice park that the locals trash. 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...

Great place to relax or run or just have a walk around…read more The total round trip of this park is 1.3 miles. One can bring their dogs too, it's a great place for socializing with other pet owners. I found that this place is hardly ever crowded and hence a lot of parking is naturally available. Recommend for runners!

Really great park! Went here to enjoy a bagel sandwich and take a walk in the sun on a beautiful…read moreday! It is well maintained, so pretty clean and peaceful. The tree memorial for the 9/11 victims from the area was beautiful and a nice way to honor those folks in the community. There is alot of open grassy area to sit or play - a few benches along the trail, and a handful of picnic tables. If you want to sit out though, you probably want to bring your own chair. The walk was nice - very flat area without really any hills and the trail is paved, well defined, has mile markers, and is wide. It's a little over a mile, so if you're short on time you can get a quick walk in otherwise you can do a few laps to get in extra mileage! I did see there was a little playground area as well and a gazebo! There was actually a small ceremony happening when I was there. Another sweet thing to note, there is a senior living home on the trail, so it was lovely to see some elderly people out getting sunshine and enjoying the park too! Definitely recommend checking it out if you want to get outside and have a nice place to go!

My son loved this spot! Great location, beautiful park with pathways and such throughout.read more

WOW. what a great addition to the city, any US/CDN city…read morewould be happy to have this.. I'm not sure who the LYNCH FAMILY was, but THANK YOU. It has 3 great bowls (3!), lots of street section, unfortunately there are (as usual) TONS OF LAME NERDS on scooters; so douchy. They are stupid to watch, completely unimpressive and anyone over 12 looks completely idiotic on one. Try for off times for an adult/skater, avoid weekends.

What a great addition to Allston!! Here's basically everything it features:…read more * a pumptrack * an outdoor roller rink right next to the pumptrack * tons of grass in front and behind the pumptrack to play soccer, frisbee, to hangout, etc. * a nicely paved walking path to help you get around (especially if you're on wheels!) * a basketball court * two baseball diamonds with lights that go on at night * the place is often used for adult league/rec team sports which you love to see!! * heads up: street parking is pretty limited so keep that in mind

Pros: Nice little concrete park…read moreAwesome pump track Accessible location Cool features (rail, hips, ledges, banks with and without coping) Cool location right next to Harvard Stadium Cons: No tree cover at the skatepark Skate park flow could be better (widen it) Manual pad is a little small No water fountain or bathrooms Kids playing on the pump track made it extremely dangerous (and annoying). Kids are not permitted without adult supervision yet people think it's ok to ignore these rules at virtually every skatepark in Boston that I've been to. Don't follow the Boston parking laws. Harvard University is on a power trip and tickets cars that otherwise wouldn't be ticketed if it were the BPD. Got a ticket for not paying a meter on a Sunday. Every car on the street did. Clearly they're making up their own rules.

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.

Their tournaments are a joke. They all put B teams to in the C level & the A teams in the B levels.read more

The 2 main play areas are on astro turf, so no worries about bugs. One play area is more accommodating for little ones (ages 2-5+) and another which little ones can use, but also has more challenging climbing structures, bendy slides, etc. There are 2 sets of swings, one at each end of the park. It was clean and several people brought picnic blankets and set up on the ground to watch their kids play. Nice park and when I was there, respectful, playful kids.
