Harbor Islands
It's not a T stop, but today I went with a group for a local Boston adventure -- we took a ferry to Spectacle Island, in the harbor, for a picnic. It was a beautiful day, albeit a little windy, and our picnic, hiking, and beach football-throwing were fun. I was a little disappointed that the island seemed so landscaped (it had wide paths, and few if any trees), since I'd always thought of the Harbor Islands as a crazy wilderness -- but what do I expect from an island mostly made of landfill. It's also apparently one of the highest points in the harbor -- we saw a nice view when we climbed the south drumlin.

The Harbour islands are amongst the best kept parks in the state (one big advantage is random hooligans dont tend to have have motor boats and time to do much damage like they can to a park in the city.) With some exceptions (places your generally not allowed to stop at for the most part) the islands are all pretty well groomed. Also out of all the islands Spectacle was literally just built so it would be a while for any wilderness to infiltrate anyway.
