Osprey Overlook Park webpageThere are views of Weymouth Back River Estuary from Osprey Overlook Park.
Once a landfill, Weymouth’s Osprey Overlook Park is a scenic public property with views of the Back River. It is part of the Back River Trail system, with a direct link to Great Esker Park. Paved trails offer access for all. There are also some unpaved trails, including a 0.6-mile loop. Extend your walk into Great Esker Park next door, where there are an additional 6+ miles of trails.
Osprey Overlook Park was constructed in 2016 and 2017. A recovered natural setting, it is a park built on top of a capped landfill. It was created with Community Preservation funds, as well as a grant from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). An interpretative panel provides information about the osprey that fish and nest along the Back River.
