Bridgewater Iron Works Park

Nice quiet place to see nature. Some walking trails.

Great little peaceful place at the Old iron works, a good amount of picnic benches to sit and eat at and would be perfect with just a small jungle gym and swings for the kids. Also not a good amount in the way of parking, so it may be a little bit of a walk to the park which may take you down the Bay Circuit Trail.

Kind of run down and not taken care of.
Very sad though because it has serious potential for a good Park. Bridgewater needs to put some money into these parks because they are excellent for walking dogs and such.
I’m also handicapped and needs to be more handicap accessible I thought I was going to get stuck with my motorized wheelchair.

Bridgewater Iron Works Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as it was once among the largest iron manufacturing facilities in the United States. The remaining park was dreary on a rainy day, and the informational signage difficult to read, but at least plenty of benches were available for resting. I also liked the alewife fish ladder.

Definitely will be back. Grew up in BW for 20 years and never heard of this place,glad I found it great for the kids-caution though there are a few old buildings that are being taken over by nature. I think that part is what makes the park for me they blend right in perfectly. That said as long as your in eye view it’s great for kids and a dog. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because it just needs a little landscaping done. For the person who said you can’t get in there’s a sign you can see from the road just park close by and walk right in.
