Quincy Quarries Reservation, Public park and historic quarry site in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States.
The 22-acre Quincy Quarries Reservation features numerous granite cliffs, walking paths, and panoramic views of the Boston skyline.
The quarries, established in 1825, supplied granite for the Bunker Hill Monument and marked the beginning of large-scale stone extraction in America.
The granite walls display multi-colored paintings and designs, created by local artists who transformed the industrial landscape into an outdoor art gallery.
Visitors can access the reservation from dawn to dusk, with free parking available on Ricciuti Drive near the Southeast Expressway.
The quarry walls contain over 100 established rock climbing routes, ranging from beginner to expert levels, marked with metal bolts and anchors.
