Kind. The paddling experience was disturbed by several motor boats. Huge wave made from those boats ruined my kayaking. But the service and welcoming was warm enough!

Love this place Ive been going since I was a child love the improvement and the new sprinklers for the kids. But now that I have one of my own I really do wish they had a separate pool for babies/toddlers we had a great time at the pool but my toddler had a tough time understanding that she needed to stay away from older kids that like splashing peoples faces and kicking others.

Nice place to visit

Review №47

Beautiful and minimal waterfront park along the Charles River. This stretch of green along the river serves as much a staple for neighboring community residents as it does a destination for visitors. Theres a modest charm to the park, akin to that of New Yorks Riverside Park.

Bike path right along the river

A must for visitors, kids especially will like the playground. Easy access over footbridge from the northwest corner of the garden. Dedicated bike paths make it a safe place for a ride.

The esplanade has much to offer! A lovely place to reconnect with friends and nature. I ride my bike along here quite often. If you are up early, you may even spot a gray crane taking flight off one of the may docks one may stop and relax at.

When I lived here, I used to run this trail along the river almost every day. It never got old. It can all look totally different in different lighting, weather, time of year, time of day... The path stretches on forever and makes you feel infinite.

Beautiful park along the Charles River Basin. The Storrow Drive traffic means this is not a secluded retreat, but it certainly a great place for a walk, run, or bike ride.
