4.5Passanageset Park(2 reviews) - A birding gem located where you'd never expect it Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks
This area used to be a dumping area for tailings and excavation; no more, as it's been turned into a very nice and quiet salt marsh that makes it perfect for birding, watching the tide flow in and out, and a quick walk. You'd never believe you were just hundreds of feet from the busy Southern Artery or Sea Street, and the entrance is pretty hidden as well. There are two main ways to enter, either through the Quincy Youth Hockey entrance by Grumpy Whites or by Broad Meadows middle school. I've seen all kinds of birds in here, from egrets to gulls, pipers to doves. They're all over the place, and much of the land has become valuable habitat for them and their chicks. Check it out the next time you're in the area!See more..
