The Quincy Quarries Reservation in Quincy, Massachusetts is a former granite quarry turned public recreation area. Known for its historical significance as the site of the Granite Railway, the park offers hiking, rock climbing, and scenic views of the Boston skyline. Once a popular spot for cliff jumping and graffiti artists, the quarries were filled with dirt from the Big Dig project to improve safety. Today, visitors can enjoy outdoor activities and explore this unique urban park with a mix of history and adventure.
