Beautifully kept trail. I’ve traced a nice route from Ruggles Station to Jackson Station in Roxbury. Great space for a run, walk, and working out. Most people are respectful to social distancing and mask use. Check it out! Runs from Jamaica Plain to the Back May area.

This is a cute park with a nice climbing structure, merry go round and zip line. Its a little dangerous because folks can ride their bikes pretty fast along the bike path.

The flowers are beautiful here and makes for a really pleasant day-stroll. Volunteers are often seen along the path and are very friendly. The biggest drawback is the frequency of heroin addicts found along the path, especially closer to Mass Ave, and the used, open needles that are common in the grass and flower beds.

Nice little park running above the mbta orange line tracks from forest hills to back bay station. Has a bike path and plaques dedicated to the history and construction of bostons first megaproject. Its a pleasant walk. A few dog parks and a skate park.

Its a nice quiet, green path in the South End of Boston. Not sure why its called a park. It runs parallel to the MBTA Orange Line from Back Bay train station south to the Forest Hills station. There is a fenced-in dog playground and a working community garden, though at the southern end it is more like a park.

This place used to be a nice place for a quiet stroll through the city.Far too many obnoxious little dogs and joggers. Overcrowded.Feels like Brookline, or worse....

Love the orange structure they have and the ziplines. The orange structure is for young and older. Im 40 and I even had a good x on it. The only thing is it is almost hidden but alot of fun....

Cute little park space in the South End area of Boston.It is over top the Orange MBTA line, so occasionally you can hear (and feel!) The trains below, but the wild flowers are stunning in the spring and summer.This space has a few basketball courts adjacent, as well as a few small community gardens, a childrens playground, and a paved dog park.Overall, quite a nice place for an evening walk.

Before the bench was taken out, it was a super nice place, to sit in a beautiful, shaded space to have my lunch. I work in the building right down the street & know the problems with the areas homeless ppl. But I dont mind by them& they dont mind me. LoL I wish they didnt take out the bench.

This park was usually near Interstate 695 when it was cancelled, it was converted to a railway in 1972, and the Orange Line began near this place on May 4th, 1987, replacing the Washington Street Elevated.
