Habitats and Wildlife
This grassy park with some oak and maple trees along the perimeter is located within the watershed of the Monatiquot River.
The Monatiquot River rises in Braintree, at the confluence of the Farm and Cochato Rivers, within the Braintree Municipal Golf Course. It flows northeast for 4.9 miles before merging with Smelt Brook to form the Fore River.
The Fore River serves as the boundary between the towns of Weymouth and Braintree. It flows for about 3 miles, into Quincy, where it meets Town River, and then flows for another 2 miles into Hingham Bay. In its final few miles, the Fore River is nearly a mile wide in some places.
Follow the Fore River Watershed Association more information about the Monatiquot and Fore Rivers.
