REVIEWS OF Back Bay Fens IN Massachusetts

Court Noyes

Beautiful new flower garden near the fens. Highly recommend for a walk, closer to the turf field. I'm speaking of the new Rose Garden with beautiful roses and walking paths shaped out in meditative curves. Worth a visit if you are nearby:)

Michael Danziger

Great urban park. Diverse patches of natural and landscaped greenery, water and monuments keep it interesting to walk around.

Will Simmons

Meh, the homeless people living there kind of detract from the intended esthetic of the area.

David Jablon

Beautiful place to take a walk. Watch out for the geese.

Michael Costello

Nothing like baseball in the Fenway

Chris Anderson

Be careful a lot of Junkies and Robberies happening

teresa roberts

Everyone hears that the Fens is terrifying their freshman year. Eventually you go, many times, and realize that it's perfectly fine, and just like everywhere else is worse at night.

Tapan Rajpura

Always peaceful park n lively in summer. You can enjoy morning walk/run just seating somewhere n enjoy good weather also memorial in it.

Linn Kay

This garden is really charming, divided up into small, individually owned plots from back in the victory garden days, when families were given small plots to farm to help the war efforts. Each garden has a unique vibe, some like small japanese zen gardens, others with tiny doors leading into enchanted rose gardens, and still others filled with straightforward lines of vegetables or flowers set around a few chairs for lazing in the sun. There's some muggy water nearby that can be pretty to walk around too.

Jana Scholten

Great outdoors city escape in this park designed by Olmsted.

Janis McQuarrie

So pretty and peaceful, love to watch the ducks and geese in the water.

Alexander Chamberlin

Nice spot, the reeds can feel sketchy after dark but as long as you're on pavement its fine. Really nice for an evening or morning jog or walk.

A great park to stroll through. There's a field and some basketball courts that get used quite frequently. I've heard it's not the nicest place to be at night time, and there are a lot of geese around, but the gardens are very pretty.

The area is amazing but there was so much trash and needle caps in the WWII memorial it was disgusting.

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

The park needs a little attention from landscaping crews.

Jennifer Phan

It's a beautiful place, especially the river that runs through. I like to take walks on peaceful days and just enjoy the atmosphere. It's also nice to see the occasional wildlife. Not the geese though.

Babu ram prasad

It's a nice peaceful place but it's secluded

Jay Ferguson

Homeless people living in tents and smoking meth

Mayank Gangrade

Good area for jogging.. be safe during night time

Jamie Bichelman

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!

Zack Zaleskas

It's a beautiful place the victory gardens are amazing and the park is safe till it's dark

Davide Donati

Nice park to spend an afternoon laying on the grass, contemplating the Brook or playing basketball in the two courts in it's center. Can get a little bit sketchy at night tho

Chris Abramo

Stay away from here on friday and saturday - some wierd stuff goes on here at night. its a gay cruising spot, with plenty of in the dark anonymous blowies, and one time we witnessed someone in a chair sitting motionless surrounded by a circle of candles. avoid this place at all costs.

Jacob Dixon

Beautiful place. Will visit again!

Lynn Julian

For many, the most beautiful part of the Back Bay Fens is floral aroma of the Kelleher Rose Garden...ME TOO! For those who care, very rose bush and trellis features a plaque, stating the name and personality of that particular flower. TIP: Go to their annual "Rose Garden Party," next Summer, to see the roses in full bloom...and the most haute hats in Boston. I, Lynn Julian, was "Honorable Mention" Hat Contest Winner wearing my own creation, made from a Schiaparelli hat base.

Peter Joseph

Beautiful comunity gardens

Nice Urban Park

Juan Garnier

Just dont go to the bushes at night

Emile Moukheiber

Public soccer/football/baseball field with nice running track around it, and nearby basketball courts. Pick up games and leagues are aplenty. The nearby park is spaced out with nice walking space. Lots of geese hanging out and a nice ww2 memorial. At night can sometimes get sketchy.
