Neville Place of Cambridge

There's much to do outdoors at Boston's Franklin Park. The park has been coined as the “jewel” of the Emerald Necklace, boasting natural attractions like a beautiful pond and over 200 acres of forest. Other amenities of Franklin Park include an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, baseball fields, playgrounds, a 2.5-mile loop path, and the Franklin Park Zoo.

Rent a canoe or kayak from the South Bridge Boat House for a day of fun on the water. Set sail on your excursion and explore the waters of the Assabet, Sudbury, and Concord rivers. If you don't feel like piloting your own adventure, look into enjoying a river cruise aboard a pontoon boat.
