A riverside stop in Wellesley Lower Falls where Washington Street meets River Street, built around a commemorative rock marking George Washington's 1789 visit and a view of the Finley Dam fish ladder. It functions mainly as a Charles River Link Trail waypoint with picnic tables rather than a park to spend an afternoon in.
