Tim Callahan: Great walking trails there was an abundance of what appeared as green tootsie rolls along the path.
Elizabeth Lashua: Picnic area: Grill and picnic area's. First come first serve though!
GiGi Germain: I love this place, however it's hard to get in.The place is huge and has tons of space but when their parking lot is full, they won't let anyone else in even if you are on foot.Once they deem the parking lot full, even if other cars in the parking lot leave, they will not let you in. You have to arrive at like 6am and wait in a car line just to get in when they open at 8am.There is tons of space inside, so they should figure out how to accommodate more people even if their parking lot is full. People will gladly park somewhere else and walk over but they won't allow it.- and again, you will walk up and see tons of open parking spots and they will still say it's full.
Christopher M. Trotta: Beautiful park in the heart of Worcester. Looks like thy have boat rentals available too!

Quinsigamond State Park - Lake Park: what do users think?
Victor Davis: Big park
Daniel Ngo: On one side, there is a football field with a track around it. On the other side of the lot, there are tennis courts. On nice days, there can be a wait. Tennis court has NO LIGHTS
Mike Finn: Great place...Nice 1.1 mile running/walking track right on the lake
Stephanie Thomas: This is a great park. Always clean and well maintained. Lots of activity happening. Well lit too.Excellent walking path.
Laurie Harrington: One of my Favorite spots to walk in the city! It's Incredibly peaceful to walk alongside the riverbank of Lake Quinsig.! A majority of the walking path is naturally embeded in the forestlike ground of the park from years of heavy foot traffic of it's visitors. The serene natural landscape offers an opportunity for a mountain like mental health escape within the city!! Ideal location for walking Or, taking a strollwith friends, families, children, lunch break, perfect for picnics (they do have picnic tables scattered about in various areas) Great All around park for tennis, sports, back beach (seasonal) Huge Downfall; Not having Any Restroom access whatsoever during Late fall, and all of winter!!
Laura Lane: Beach area with lots of parking. Access to Lake Quinsigamond. We saw a Bald Eagle fly by. I heard they nest nearby

Johns moulton: I would give it 5 stars but the park needs some.
San Naumiec: We've come a long way baby ! Lake Park is great for chilling. ( mic drope) 🎤

Bovenzi Conservation Park: what do users think?
Carol Szabo: A very wild place. The trails are reasonably well marked, but they are narrow and untravelled. On this Sunday around noon, while hiking for 3 hours with my wife we met nobody on any of the trails.
Rachael McNeal: Was supposed to be going to a conservation park... instead Google Maps took me to a development area.
Frances Maynard Webster: Some of the trails were a little overgrown, but the trails were clearly marked. It was a nice easy hike. 2 adults and 2 kids under 6
James Michael Bishop: Definitely one of the better places to visit
B Lyons: Trail from Sunrise Ave (blue markers) was not maintained very well. Grass was tall; I felt like I was collecting ticks and bugs as we fought our way through. Once we got to the bottom of the hill, the trail was only slightly better. Meh, I was not impressed.
Linda Comforti: No parking. No trail markers. Felt like you were walking in people’s back yards. Wouldn’t recommend. Trout Brook just a few miles north in Holden was so much better!
DriveShaft Drew: Nice
Alice Beccari: I can't find it. The street and the address is wrong
Joel Bernier: Quiet and tranquil
Jim Daniel: Nice trails for a casual dog walk
Eric Bloom: Great local park with two main trails to follow. The few times I've been here I have parked at the end of Maravista Rd. where there is a turnaround. Not much parking available unfortunately. One trail (blue blazes) follows an old logging road up and over Laurel Mtn. then down to the brook and onward to Sunrise Ave. There is a side trail off this one that leads downhill, over the brook and westward towards the Holden line, blazed with yellow triangles. Along this trail there is a tent platform to camp at. After the platform the trail eventually ends in the woods, couldn't locate anymore blazes to follow.
Janelle: Tried to hike there yesterday and the Sunrise Avenue entrance was completely overgrown (knee-high grass and we couldn't follow the trail). Very disappointing as I was looking forward to a nice hike, but it is unusable.
jean choquette: Great day
Ballpoint: Decently maintained and a good spot on Worcester
Colin Novick: Good hiking, nice brook, a hidden gem.
Karlie Sanford: I think this is where the rail trail is? Beautiful..tranquil ..but my friend and I only made it about a half mile before we were tired..I would like to go back
Chris Jake: Great trails to walk right in worcester.. No parking so you have to find a way in by walking there.. Once you are on the trails it's great.
Emmanuel Asante: Very exciting place
Jegan Mohan: A decent place for a walk.
Brad: There's no real path to get in. No real "park" in the sense that there aren't any swings​ or slides here...Lot of wetlands.Not very interesting at all

Moore State Park: what do users think?
Jack Lacy: One of my favet playes to walk
Nancy Burbank: Love visiting there. But it will even better when the Azaleas are in bloom! I can't wait!
James Wilton: Beautiful place.They rebuilt covered bridge, made a ramp,now handicapped accessible. Also safer with new fencing.I need to come back when the Enchanta path is in bloom.Restrooms: They gave two sanicans in place.Picnic area: I saw picnic tables there.
Steven Cheek: We came here for a little walk and am glad that we did. Very pretty scenery and plenty of area to explore. They have a Porta Potty at the parking lot which was very convenient. Check it out if you're in the area.Restrooms: Porta PottyDog-friendliness: Plenty of people with dogs were here.Picnic area: We saw a couple of picnic areas on the way to the trails.
Shane Regan: Excellent place for a summer walk/ hike.
varonil egidio: very beautiful place to walk alone or with the family, excellent for taking pictures.
Rafael: The park is a picturesque sight, but it's unfortunate that a few dog owners exhibit irresponsibility and selfishness by leaving their pet's waste bags strewn all over the place, neglecting to clean up after their dogs. One has to be excessively cautious while walking to avoid stepping on dog feces.
Michael Morand: Beautiful place to walk around. Dog friendly.
Tony Cardinali: Good parking, but you have to walk a quite a ways to get to the attraction. Just be prepared. I would definitely come back during the spring bloom. They do not have any grills to cook on or picnic around just so you know.
Steven Mahoney: Loved this place. Great for photography. Would definitely go back.
kai: Very Scenic walk with a river that i learned runs as far as Springfield and connects to the Connecticut river which runs into the long island sound. I love this place. Must go
Jennifer Carlson: Our first date with my love was here ❤️ Unforgettable at any time of the year.
Hong Ma: I visited at a winter time.I called natural ice sculpture. Some part of the trail is icy and slippery, but this is the winter charm. Love it
Michael Rose: Great place for a walk with the dog
Dianne Ellis: Such a gorgeous place to go walking. Love the history.
Sarah Martin: Peaceful. Nice place to take pics for special occasions
Virginia Norford: Lovely place to walk around and feel the nature. There are many sitting areas sprawled throughout the park. The lake is a beautiful view as well. Be sure to bring your mosquito repellent!!Finding this gem was a happy accident, a lot of the time I'm searching for new state parks to explore on Google. This is now one of my favorite new parks. The landscape at this location is beautiful and I like how it wasn't packed with people. Plenty of things to look at and you don't feel claustrophobic. Can't wait to head back to this location!
Jennifer VanDusen: A beautiful place to be if you like walking in nature. My family and I enjoyed our visit
Mama C: Beautiful!! Perfect for photos, family time, picnics, coffee with a friend.
Kathy McLeod: Beautiful spot to visit. Dog friendly, but leashes are must.
Mike Howe: Beautiful park...lots of easy-going trails

Cascades Park: what do users think?
Sarah Hanna: We've only ever done the Cascades loop, but it's a great, easy one to do in about an hour with a young kid. You can get pretty close to the waterfall and there's only a small steep part that my 3 year old easily did without help.Dog-friendliness: So many dogs on-leash here! Fun!
Paul Chambers: A rapid steep climb to get to the top, but you can see the cascade from the road. Very enjoyable hike.
Kathy McLeod: I am in this park daily. Different trails to explore!
Alexander “LEX” Smith: 1. Hidden Gem in WorCesTer.2. Pet Friendly ?3. Beautiful waterfall for pictures.4. 14 miles worth of Trails
jay VB: Great trails.
Tyler Farland: Scenic and quiet most of the time
Lindsay LeBoeuf: Start our short hike from the lot near Cascade Waters and the blue trail. The hill at the beginning was incredibly steep for the first few minutes then leveled out for majority of the rest of the hike. The yellow trail was really rocky so pay attention when walking. My partner enjoyed the hike but I likely would not return. Bugs were minimal and there was plenty of shade
Brian Kilroy: Nice waterfalls. Must be awesome during the spring runoff.
James Pearson: Lots of trails, waterfall is right by the road.
Michelle H: Could not figure out where to park for this place, very disappointed. Also found it odd that the big cascade (visible from the street) was practically dry in early June.
Reza T. Mousavian: A kind of private area! Not popular.
Carl Travers: Cool place to hike
Josh Patrick: Very nice park. Not too busy when we went. Decent amount of trail options. Trail markings do need to be updated. Download the trail maps to your phone!
Desiree Vallejo: Es un lugar hermoso
Joey Rugar: Love this hike. Advice to pet owners. Tics are all near the waterfall. Trails not as bad. Great place for a quick family hike ..
Paul Gardner: I went hiking and mountain biking here so many times as a kid. Great hill climbs and challenging trails to bike but lots of fun!
Lisa Dobson: Forgot my phone for pics. Park as great as always. Nice amount of water flowing over ricks today. Beautiful sunny day with colorful fall foliage.
Madison Friend: Absolutely beautiful when the cascades are, well...cascadimg. Just make sure to check it out after a day or two of rain and not during a dry spell (you'll be sorely disappointed if there's no water to be seen when you arrive!)
Sue Pelland: Lovely woodland hike.
Vivian Niedzinski: Lovely park. It's very clean with lots of trails that are marked by a colored dot.Be prepared for a long (2 mile +) walk. The only drawback is no garbage can.
Valerie Santoro: Great hidden trails in Worcester, dog friendly.

Minnette Davila: A clean and green oasis. Nice place to just sit.
Marlyn Max: It's ok
Lisa Shea: The delightfully cute park at the intersection of Pleasant Street and Winslow Street in Worcester, Massachusetts is known as the Pleasant and Winslow park. It's a simple park with a central grassy area as well as a few benches and picnic tables.This isn't somewhere I would necessarily "go to visit" if I lived a distance away - Worcester is full of large, beautiful parks. However, if I lived in the neighborhood, it's a nice place to hang out and read a book.
Miss Maja Danae: If you like seeing syringe caps everywhere this is your place
Samuel Negron martinez: Bueno
Johnny Montalvo: Great place to take the kids
