Nice park - kinda crowed - wear a mask
Some good scenery here and nice trails but unfortunately the many dog walkers who use this property do not clean up after their dogs. I'm not being picky here, it was really bad. Pity, because the small hill (Wilson Mountain) and the interesting scenery with many outcroppings of large glacial boulders would have made for a good walk. The Whitcomb Woods across the street was not too interesting, just a straight out and back.
I’m sure this is a great trail for most of the year! But right now, it’s still ice covered. It was pretty busy and had off leash dogs. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful Forrest with a cute little summit where you can see Boston skyline!
Great hike
Trail seemed nice but the whole thing was ice so we couldn’t continue. Dog poop everywhere along the trail as it seems no one here picks up after their dogs. As other reviews said dogs off leash with owners paying no attention to them.
Nice, flat, easy walk.
Bit icy because snow melting. Parking lot muddy same reason.

Great snowshoeing! Hard packed snow. 38 degrees.
Love this place for wandering/easy hiking. Parts of the Blue Trail are inaccessible, now (private property and blocked off to public), so can’t do the loop. Maps don’t indicate this, though. My kid and I learned the hard way...
snowed in hard packed about 6". groomed. busy on saturday. lot full at noon time.
