Bare Cove Park

The U.S. Navy then established the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot, also known as Hockley Hollow at the time, because of its close proximity to Boston Harbor.

[2] The depot stored munitions for aircraft and ships until it was decommissioned in 1961,[3] and the land was given to the towns of Hingham and Weymouth in the early seventies.

Bare Cove Park Features multiple paved paths and trails that are often used for walking, jogging, and biking.

[1] The park consists of acres of woods, marshes, wetlands, fields, and river shoreline and is also scattered with retired naval bunkers.

Birds, including ospreys, double-crested cormorants, snowy egrets, and great blue herons, are seen significantly more by park-goers.
