The park is very beautiful and provides all the amenities that one can look for. It is a blessing to have a park like this in your neighborhood.It’s clean and well maintained throughout the year. People are friendly and you get to see people in different stages of their life sharing and enjoying the nature. The main Walking / jogging path goes round the playground. It is sufficiently wide for kids on their bike or someone with their dog or a casual walker to share the joy of walking.It has got picnic tables, shaded picnic area, volleyball and basket ball court and the skates zone. Two beautiful playgrounds. Kids play area and some musical instruments next to it.It also provides you an opportunity to go on a very small trail behind the play area. Also a small pond that you can see if you climb towards the north end.Overall, the beauty is measured not from the area but from the people around and the happiness index on their face. Thanks for this great place.

Nice place to hike, they have an app you can download to follow trails. Close to a 100 different stone and metal sculptures scattered throughout the park.And... supposedly a very decent barbecue place right across the street.

Nice cement track to walk around. Small playground, skate park basketball court. Has a gazebo and another covered picnic area. Not a park to travel to, just a nice place to get a little outdoors time for those who live close by. Large grassy field surrounded by the walk path. Good size parking lot. Clean.

Went skate boarding with some friends here. Sometimes I like to run around the track. They also have a nice playground and soccer field. No complaints but could use some minor improvements like opening the concession stand all year.

Literally one of the most terrible skateparks I’ve ever been to. The lack of maintenance combined with the children running around makes this place a death trap. Do not go here! Just another daycare under the guise of a skatepark.

This local park is host to several sports fields, local entertainment with a park concert series, craft faire, farmers markets and even community movies. Features include a walking track, volleyball court, skate park, soccer, gazebo, redeemable pavilion newly reconstructed, and sufficient parking to handle events. There is a short walk through the woods along the river at the back of the park as well.

This past week (mid June of 19) while walking the paved track there, I had a leashed dog lunge at me. He only got my pants. A bit later on that visit, I was plowed into while walking, without warning from behind by a kid about age 9 riding a scooter on the track. A few yrs. ago it happened also that same way and that time I was knocked down. Kids at times are learning how to use their toys without supervision. Im 76 and recovering from surgery and figure that walking on that track to be safe! Beware of an ambush If you walk there. Otherwise a nice place. Bring back the dirt track!!

This is a great multi use recreation area. Ball fields, basketball courts, playground and a huge pavilion are some of the highlights. Cant forget the skate park, a favorite of the kids. Well maintained, clean with easy access to route 9 and Nortborough center its popularity is understandable.

Review №63

Needed a nice big field to walk the dog in peace during the winter and this place is perfect, near my kids gymnastics and with a large soccer field neatly ringed with a walking track around it so I can keep an eye on the car and the surroundings whilst I walk (not implying that its unsafe but I always like to see my car where I park it when I get out if possible) - the track is big enough for the dog to get some stuff out and theyre doggie bags available so no excuses to not have a clean field!

This skatepark is much better than most other prefab concrete parks in MA. The ramps are spaced well, and dont send you flying into a fence or grass like Webster does. Flat ground is decent and the half pipe actually skates well.
