Owned By: Town of Weymouth

Webb Park is a small hillside property near Weymouth Landing. It features a playground, a basketball court, and the Milton J. Kelley Memorial Baseball Field. About half of the park is a natural area with numerous trees and rocky outcroppings. This small town park is sometimes confused with Webb Memorial State Park in North Weymouth.

Features

The playground features swings and climbing structures. Its surface is a combination of wood chips and rubber mats. There is a concrete access ramp between the parking area and the playground.

This land is within the region of the Massachusett (or Massachuseuk). To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Mattakeeset band of the Massachusett, and the Massachusett tribe at Ponkapoag, both share information on their websites. 

Trail Description

While there are no formal trails in this small park, there is ample natural space in which to walk around.

Habitats and Wildlife

This park is situated on a hill, overlooking Weymouth Landing. Much of it is grassy, but there are a number of rocky outcroppings, plus oak, beech, cedar, and cherry trees, sumac and numerous shrubs. It 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.
