Alewife Brook Reservation

This is a beautifully designed urban park with lots of activities and trails. The Fitchburg cutoff bike path goes through the park. There's a nice boardwalk trail through a marsh habitat. You can see lots of different bird species, frogs, turtles etc. There is another shorter trail in the park which takes you near Cambridge Discovery Park. This area has lots of picnic benches and rocking chairs to enjoy a relaxing picnic in the park. There are bike rental stations near Alewife T station and on Acorn Park drive from where you can rent a bike and explore this area. An ideal place for a little urban excursion on a spring or summer's day.
