Millennium Park used to be a landfill hill. Today it consists of six miles of handicapped-accessible walking trails, playing fields, a canoe launch on the Charles, a nature trail, and wonderful views of the Blue Hills, Newton’s hills, and downtown Boston.

A bridge across Sawmill Brook connects this park with the trails that run through Brook Farm and connect to Helen Heyn Riverway and on to Nahanton Park. You can also paddle between the canoe docks in Nahanton Park and Millennium Park.

The gate on Gardner Street that provides vehicular access to the park is locked each day at 8:30 PM.

The AllTrails website has a description and map of a hike at Millennium Park.
