Beautiful place. Always nice and clam. Best to place to let your kids play outdoor.

The Nature Center was a welcome sight in the city and the trees were in full bloom, complete with birds flying to and fro, chirping along the way. The wetlands overlook was breathtaking; the open air, densely packed flora, and fresh air overtook me. A must visit for anyone looking to escape the city.

This is not a park in that there is no artificial order to what's out there. So it is a different experience when compared to something like the Boston Commons, where every inch of the park is designed to produce a spectacle to your sight.

Not to say it's ugly nor boring in the least. Again, depends on what you're after.

The Center was full of campers and staff so there was a joyous ring in the air. Or maybe it was the screaming kids.

An oasis super close to the city. We saw a lot of wild turkeys. They also have a hedgehog.

My daughter and I enjoy this place. It has lots of sightseeing activities throughout the year and always seems fresh. I encourage everyone to support this organization with their membership, which is like $50 a year- If you're reading this you can probably afford that. These people do great work for the city, state and country in general.

The kids did not discount the experience and actually brought about a sense of child-like wonder in me during my jaunt through the woods. This caused me to ignore a sign and go slightly off trail, but I was just looking for bugs.

It's a nice place, if you like nature for what it is.

Wonderful place! Summer day camps, and day camps during school vacation breaks are offered at this location. Check out their website for additional events, nature programs, and activities. As described on their website, "located just outside of downtown Boston on the former grounds of the Boston State Hospital, the Boston Nature Center (BNC) is a community-based urban sanctuary. Trails and boardwalks traverse meadows and wetlands, home to over 150 species of birds, 40 species of butterflies, and more than 350 species of plants. Year-round programs help foster an appreciation for nature and the environment."

This is a wildlife sanctuary. Nature grows as it will, with minimal tending to, just to ensure it doesn't encroach on the human-habitable facilities.
