Dorchester Park — Attraction in Boston

This park is a lovely medium size spot with waIking paths and lots of birds. I walk here every day with the dog. Most dog owners are friendly and respectful.

Some of us regularly pick up trash, but it's riskier during a pandemic. I'd love to see a few more trash barrels so there might be a chance of getting partiers...

These courts are the only part of the park that could use some TLC.The baseball field is almost never used after the short spring season if you're looking for an empty field. There is also a clean playground for tykes and older children...
