The ramp is situated within a 17-acre park managed by Mass Audubon that features walking paths, recreation areas, and a historic Nature Center, with guided kayaking programs regularly available.

Parking is limited with a small pullout on Memorial Drive and a larger lot near the boat landing; public transit access is available via MBTA Green Line (BU Central stop) or Red Line (Central Square stop).
