View over the cattail marsh from the southeast around the cattail marsh and runs along the western side of the brook to the landscaped Bicentennial Park situated at Massachusetts Avenue. The small dirt path continues between Massachusetts Avenue and the Henderson Bridge on the western side of the brook beside a new hotel and Arlington residences. A parkland strip of varying width containing mown grass and scattered trees stretches be- tween the tree-lined east side of the brook and the edge of the roadway form Route 2 up to Henderson Bridge. The eastern border of the Alewife Brook Parkway is fringed with trees, residences, a strip of parkland, and a paved sidewalk where encroachments exist. One cultural feature of note is the Massachu- setts Avenue Bridge, which marks the location where British forces crossed the Alewife Brook during their retreat in the wake of skirmishes at Concord and Lexington during the colonial war. Cultural points of interest between the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge and the Hen- derson Bridge include the historic North Cam- bridge Alms House on the eastern edge of the Parkway and an inflow that marks the remains of Tannery Brook, a site where the colonial leather-finishing industry developed and where a fishing weir had been used by both colonists and Native Americans.
