A phenomenally-beautiful area to walk, run, bike, and stroll! It’s the perfect lunchtime spot for a healthy way to move. You’ll be greeted by geese (and at the right time of season, their babies!) so be respectful and give them space! It’s a really great, somewhat private connection between the shops and restaurants in the Fenway area and the Longwood area where important buildings and medical care can be found. There’s also a beautiful, spacious running track and field where you’ll see students studying, people enjoying lunch, and others walking and running. I can’t say enough great things about this scenic, wonderful spot!

As part of my physical rehab I walk from Huntington ave.,cross the fens, head down Jersey street, do one lap around Fenway Park then head back the way I came. Stop me if you see me hobbling around the Park with my cane. BE ADVISED... I am 100% deaf, so you'd have to wave 👋 me down to get my attention.

Great view of the city skyline , the boston park department is doing a great job keeping the ground safe and clean. The muddy river project is a great addition to the city. I am glad it is done and being maintained by the boston parks and emerald necklace along with other stakeholders.

Vibrant park with mature groves, gardens, streams/ponds, bike and foot paths, and a recreation area. Many beautiful hidden vignettes provide peaceful getaways. I love the Emerald Necklace and its many components, and the Fens is no exception – an urban park done very well.

Went on a stroll around the city and got to checkout Fenway Park, and came across this beautiful garden that is basically a mix of different garden ideas made by the people who purchase their land. Truly Beautiful. It's like The Secret Garden outside if Fenway Park

I always get off at Ruggles station (Orange Line) walk past Northeastern university over Huntington Ave and past the Museum of Fine arts and through this park (a 5 minute walk) before heading down near Fenway Park. It's a nice little park. Safe and beautiful.
