About this Location

O'Toole's Landing is located in Wellesley. The Charles River Trail offers scenic views of the river and its wildlife, as well as opportunities to stop at other landmarks along the way. O'Toole's Landing is open from dawn to dusk. 

The Wellesley Office Park, located on the Charles River, connects to the Charles River Bike Path. This connection is enjoyed by residents and traveled by bicycle commuters avoiding urban roads. Upland trails through the woods were designed with porous paving to minimize run-off into the river. Boardwalks connect the site through wetlands protecting ecologically sensitive areas from compaction due to foot and bicycle traffic. Because of the location of the site, the trails and boardwalks were designed to protect the existing wetlands on the site and avoid existing vernal pools.
