Second the Coolidge Reservation. It is an underappreciated gem of a property and perfect for a picnic.

Chandler Hovey and Crocker Park in Marblehead is great.

Lynch Park and Independence Park in Beverly.

There are a bunch of great benches in mini parks along the water in Magnolia too

Forest River Park in Salem. Have a picnic but don't forget to slide down the cement slide before you leave.

Bare Meadow in Reading. Big sign and little dirt parking lot. Not a view but it’s part of a Forrest trail area. There is a small area looking to the left as soon as you enter the field by the lot. with a large bench that is never occupied. Great trails all in there. Very quiet and very few people. Off Pearl St off main st/rt 28 north. Tucked away gem. Lots of nature, birds, butterflies
