    there is a parking lot with a short, flat walk to the quarry. it's a really cool place to wander around and rock climb with an awesome view of Boston in the distance.

    A great place to check out! My family and I stopped here for a short visit (<1 hour). Lots of cool graffiti, nice views of the Boston skyline, fun rocks to climb. If you have little kids, keep a close eye on them as there are some precarious spots. I’d also recommend a visit right before sunset.

    This place has amazing views and aesthetically pleasing art. Got some really dope pics going here. Trying to make this my regular spot because this place is just a vibe to be at. You can feel the tags on the rocks (graffiti). The different messages, the different art. Everyone can stamp this place. Its amazing. ✍🏾

    I’m immensely grateful to Uncle Jason for introducing us to this offbeat graffiti spot. I absolutely fell in love with this trail; it exudes a vibrant, dynamic energy. A nature-inspired graffiti art haven. The natural graffiti creations are a true work of art, and the atmosphere is absolutely uplifting, and the design concept is truly inspiring. After the visiting , I couldn't help but feel in great spirits ! A must-visit spot!

    Really fun place to explore. Great views of the city, rocks to climb and tons of great graffiti art. (Some not so great, as well) *people pick up your freaking trash!! It's not hard. Broken glass everywhere as well. Just gotta be careful where you place hands while climbing*

    One of the best and little known attractions in Quincy. A little bit of rock climbing, a little bit of graffiti, a little bit of hiking, all add up to a great way to spend a few hours outside. And yes, while technically "illegal" to graffiti here, there are no cops or guards or staff to stop you. Regarding rock climbing, there are a lot of spots with anchors hammered in already.

    K hey all!!!! This is an interesting place however I went in late summer &it was very overgrown Fall would probably be ideal. Keep in mind it's a historic place so maintenance is probably volunteered. However it's very cool the rock formations. Not the greatest place for small children due to sharpness &slipperness of rocks. Also exercise caution if u have allergies to poison ivy etc. Parking lot plenty room looks a bit sketchy

    Pros: Lovely trails!! We saw deer, a wasp comb under construction, colorful mushrooms and fungi, lily ponds , ponds with different colors, one had brown muddy water, another had something green on top, and lots of graffiti sprinkled all over the place. There is an old railroad as well. Boston skyline view. There is plenty of parking at the rink. I am not sure if there are any public restrooms or picnic area. Didn't see any porta-potties. Went with a meetup group. Cons: There was glass scattered on the trails so please be careful, there was poison ivy too, and I recommend bringing hiking poles and wearing hiking shoes as the terrain is rocky

    5 stars all the way ! If you like art and Boston, I highly recommend you check out this place and be sure to bring your camera ! Excellent views of the Boston skyline and some really nice art ! You don't have to climb to crazy heights to see some good views. I only wore my low top Van's canvas sneakers and didn't have a problem and I am not in top physical shape either. I only went where I felt comfortable going. The art is what really makes this place !

    A great place with some great energy to chill or create. Love the free spirit, dedication, and artistry. My friend and I had a wicked time.

    Some of the best distant views of the city scape and harbor that I have visited yet! Definitely worth checking out. Quite a bit of free parking available off the main road.

    I've seen pictures online but nothing like going and exploring yourself .

  • 5/5 Eric Golden D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to hike, rock climb or just chill on a nice day.

  • 5/5 William C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really amazing space to see graffiti art! Not much of a hiking reservation; but I was blown away with the incredible amount of graffiti and colors completely surrounding you as you walk around

  • 5/5 Adam B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing spot with natural beauty and full of art all over the rocks. Definitely a trek for teens and adults, as there are a few tricky spots to climb, the view from top is worth all time spent walking up the muddy middle tho

  • 4/5 Jim C. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting place, especially if you like graffiti. Technical rock climbing, scramble throughout the outcrops. Busy on weekends with limited parking. Fun.

  • 5/5 Isai S. 1 year ago on Google
