Front Park

Not a very functional park, but provides a little more green space (aka Canadian Goose food) to chill either on the grass or on the benches. You can get to this from the Charles River path, Cambridge side or, as Richard S. mentioned, from Land Boulevard.
Actually, it’s quite a bitch to get to, especially from the crosswalk at the intersection of Binney and Land Boulevard. Technically, even when the walk like is operating correctly, you still might get smashed by drivers screaming around the corner from Land to Binney. The best way to cross Land Boulevard is on the side that doesn’t have the cross walk. Wait until traffic light for Binney St drivers who are turning left ONLY onto Land Boulevard is green, then walk freely across.

Sort of a shady little outpost, but it opens up Land Boulevard a bit so you can see the river when you’re sitting in the frustrating traffic knot that forms here at rush hours. Not really so useful as a park to actually participate in, though. There’s a big, multi-​colored sculpture that’s mildly annoying. Also, the quality of the turf isn’t up to just lying around on. If you’ve got a dog and live in one of the neighboring brick condoplexes, Front Park is a good place to poop him. Otherwise, what do you really do here?
