Dell Avenue Rock
Hours: dawn to dusk
Ownership : Boston DPR
Location Description : Wild, undeveloped park
Know more? Edit Me
Dell Avenue Rock consists primarily of a puddingstone ledge arising approximately 40 feet above Hyde Park Avenue. There are some outcrops near the top of the rock. The site is dominated by woodland, comprised of small and medium sized maples, oaks, cherry, and birch with sparse, grassy ground cover. This site provides a pleasant visual buffer along a busy, dense stretch of Hyde Park Avenue. Views from the top of the rock overlook the Stony Brook Reservation and in the winter there are views of the Blue Hills. The open, grassy areas on the lower portion of the site provide a quiet retreat for picnics or reading.

Formerly Twentieth Century Bowling Lanes, an establishment dating back before the 1950s. In more recent years, 20th Century became more known for its ice cream than its bowling. It's been upgraded and modernized a couple of times, and recently they have started to repaint the bowling lane area with some brighter, newer colors, but the lanes are still the same. They do not have a game room or pool tables, but they *DO* have bumper bowling for children. To understand the perfection of Ron’s brownie-nut ice cream, imagine dunking a brownie into a glass of ice-cold milk and then taking a bite. This place alone is worth the trip to Hyde Park.

Designed by the famed Donald Ross as a WPA project in the 1930s, George Wright was built on a site unfit for a golf course. There was too much ledge, and what wasn't ledge was hill and wetland. If environmentalists had the say 70 years ago that they do today, this golf course never would have been built. George Wright is at the mercy of the elements. The antiquated drainage system needs work, and since there isn't an irrigation system, the course's conditions are fickle. Too much rain and it becomes a swamp. And when there is a drought, the fairways are burned out.
Then again, this is one of the best golf buys in the Boston area. Maybe we have become too accustomed to manicured conditions. Maybe it is more courageous to hit shots from hard-pan lies occasionally. It's the way the game was played a century ago.
This is a public golf course that has a large committee called the Friends of George Wright that work with Mayor Menino's office in order to keep Boston's golf courses beautiful.
