    I go here very often after work. It's nice in the summer time when the waterfall gets turned on. The sound of running water is so peaceful to hear after a hard day at work. This place attracts many people, namely children. I get nervous to see them climbing the rocks because the area around it is made of stone and it's hard and not a safe place for children to play. It's also not encouraged for people to feed the birds because it attracts rats but of course no one listens.

    Nice jungle gym climb area with slide. There are table and chairs to sit down and visit or grab a bite to eat. There is also a small free library shelf where you can take a book and leave one in its place.

    Fun to watch people play Chinese chess and cards. They have a cool bamboo garden to walk through.

    Soft surface, two areas of blocks to climb, one accessing a slide. All plastic. Good for creativity and play. Benches and rocky surface to sit all along. Some tables nearby. Garbage and recycling. Not fenced in. In the sun most of the day. Next to a busy street.

    This is not really connected to the Greenway, which starts a few blocks away. It is a pleasant place adjacent to the Chinatown gate. There is a nice fountain and open plaza. Some nice events at held on the plaza like the Mid-Autumn Festival. However the park itself is not a destination, but it fits well with a visit to Chinatown.

    Lots of restaurant options nearby; outdoor seating with tables for when you want to enjoy your lunch outside. There is also a small play structure for kids.

    This is really a delightful little park. Birds play in the waterfall stream when it is running. Great place for a brown bag lunch break. The marker on Google Maps is close, the park is 50 yards to the North and on the other side of the surface road.

    Always a nice place to come and visit whenever you need a mood booster. As well as admire some of the great scenery.

    The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a welcome addition to the city of Boston. It brings beauty to an area which was once marred by inappropriate infrastructure.

  • 5/5 Jennifer P. 5 years ago on Google
    It's a nice place to sit down and enjoy the weather. I also enjoy coming here for the art installations.

  • 4/5 Roun R. 1 year ago on Google
    It a beauty place to sit and relax while the kid is playing at the small playground nearby.

  • 5/5 Shawn H. 7 years ago on Google
    This is a great spot to eat your take-out lunch on a beautiful day. Look for the water feature in the bamboo garden that runs from Spring to Autumn.

  • 4/5 Andrew K. 5 years ago on Google
    This park is right as you enter Chinatown. There are some tables here you can sit at. They also have a small play structure for kids. Sometimes have some art around here as well.

  • 4/5 Zaki H. 7 years ago on Google
    Much cleaner than the rest of Chinatown. Commemorates Chinese American heritage and has a nice safe play area for kids.

    I was catching a bus to Encore. Pretty mundane. Traffic signals worked and motorists obeyed. Busy intersection . I93 on and offramps
