  • hello
  • This is built over a landfill
  • This fabulous little-known park is a great area for walking, cycling, kite flying or just taking in great views clear across to Boston. There is also a small-children’s play area at the upper level and just off the lower-level nature trail (near the lower-level parking lot) is a put-in to Cow Island Pond on the Charles River for kayaking or fishing. On the site of a former landfill, Millenium Park is a great example of land reclamation and sets the standard for other towns dithering in their decision of how to use such areas (Needham take note!) At the risk of publicizing this special place and having it overrun by hordes escaping for an hour of peace and tranquility, the park is accessed by Charles Park Rd off the VFW Parkway and is just beyond the entrance to the West Roxbury Home Depot and offices for Pizzeria Uno (yes, keep going, it really is up there!)
