The Riverwalk is a lovely area for walker's, joggers and bikers to enjoy. In recent years Watertown has installed a raised path, lookouts w/benches and a bridge near the Waltham stretch. They're currently working on the section near the park/playground and path parallel to the old Arsenal Mall.There is much work that still needs to be done. There are many sections along the path that need to be widened (not ADA compliant) , paved, benches, Picnic tables, lighting for safety and trash / recycling barrels at every entrance are especially needed to cut back on litter in the river.Other additions that would improve the path would be educational placards or monuments to tell the history (this section of the path has a rich Native American history), sculptures / art installments, healthpath equipment and better markings along the trail with downloadable maps would be very helpful additions.The sprinkler park real neads to be redone and pool area looks quite underwhelming.Playground: The playground area is currently under construction. It isn't ADA compliant, but that may be part of the improvement plan.Dog-friendliness: The path is dog friendly. All dogs must be on leach, cleaned up after and there are no doggie bags or barrels along the path. It's strictly a carry in / carry out park.

The trail is good for a short walk albeit unpleasant smell from the river! Beautiful view of the river! A chance to take a photo with a boat on the ground!

This is a beautiful trail with a lot of benches, boardwalk offshoots, bridges, playgrounds, and art installations along the walk. It is paved in most areas, dirt, and gravel in the rest.This is a great trail to walk along in the summer because the trees provide shade. Just remember to bring bug spray because the water doesn't move fast and it can become very buggy.There are a lot of free parking spots along the part in downtown watertown, but they are 2 hour maximum. So watch your time!Dog-friendliness: This is very dog-friendly. They have some doggy bag stations available if you run out. There is an enclosed dog park along the trail.

What an oasis of hidden nature right in city. You can walk, run, bike the trails, identify trees, sit by the backs or on benches and read. I like to read learning over the bridge, resting my arms on the rails looking down at the Charles flow by and the tall grass under the water move with the tide. In summer, you step in and the world gets quiet and it cools off 10 degrees. There's a few super secret parking spaces for this. I'd tell you my favorite - but then it wouldn't be a secret anymore, nevermind super-secret. You'll find them if you look.

Great place for a quiet walk along the water. There's some construction but it is not a big deal. Areas for children to play and basketball courts too. Good parking.

Nice spot but people need to take their trash with them. Need to emphasize "carry in, carry out".

This is a nice place to walk or run along the river. Plenty of basketball hoops and family oriented with a playground.
