A wide, gravel trail that circles William Web Memorial Park—one of the peninsula park’s within Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area—begins at the west parking lot. If you start off down the trail in the counterclockwise direction (to the right), you will come to a small picnic area in less than a hundred yards. There are five picnic tables located under a nice shade tree and one grill. These tables are taken on a first come, first served basis.

If you start on the trail in the clockwise direction (straight), you will come to a much larger picnic area, also in less than 100 yards. This one has a covered pavilion, a dozen tables, and three grills. It can be reserved in advance for group events from May through October. You can reserve the pavilion online at ReserveAmerica.com.
