This is definitely one of the best park we have here in the South Shore. The park is huge that it is not crowded and yet it is well maintained. It is great for beginners and for families at all ages. There’s so many trails to choose from.

Pond Meadow Park is such an amazing park and I was stunned at how beautiful it was. They really do such a good job at keeping it pretty clean for such a spacious land management area. This place is my new go to for my nature hikes and meditation getaways. I added many new pictures for my inaturalist app sponsored by National Geographic. With the amount of people today I still managed to find a secluded area to meditate and listen to the birds.

Fun place to explore. Stick to the pavement path or go off onto different trails. Most trails have areas of boardwalks. So many turtles in pond to see! Picnic areas and benches to sit along the way. Will definitely return!

Lovely place to take a walk, jog or run. Multiple paths to explore. Hidden jem!

Beautiful park to go walking, biking, picnicking or paddling. A non-motorized boat launch for kayaks and canoes is located at the end of the entrance road by the dam.

Paved trails, unpaved trails in the woods, large pond and, as the name says, a meadow. Popular, but not crowded because its so large. We went on a sunny weekday morning and saw dozens of people, but never for long. Ready access of the express way.

Beautiful, clear trail to walk if you want to get a quick workout in. Also really nice woodland trails to hike. Great place to bring dogs that have a higher endurance.My only complaint is that a good 70% of people that go to this trail do not wear masks even though the park states to social distance and wear your mask. No complaint of the park, just complaint of the ignorant people who think the pandemic doesnt exist.

Really easy walk through paved trail. Some places without shade so it can get hot if you go closer to noon. Lots of picnic tables. Parking lot was close to full when we got there at 7:30 am but other parking can be found. More parking inside when the gates open.

Absolutely stunning views of nature here. The trails are novice friendly and the pond is great for fishing.

Peaceful, several trails, well kept. Oh, parking is free.

I took a 5 miles walk at this beautiful park in a fall mid afternoon day...with cool breeze, and vibrant fall colors, yellow or orangish leaves,...it is very pretty...enjoyed it very much....

Nice bike path through scenic woods around a pond. Easy riding for kids and families.

Beautiful area, nice inclines for walking

When I have time, this is a great place to get in a morning

This park is a great place to walk. The loop is paved. We walked it today and the path was nice and dry; the woods was wet on the side of the path but we walked happily on the pavement.Not sure of how long the route around is, but it is ample for a good walk.Park outside the gate if going during the later part of the day because they do close/lock the gate at 5:00pm. We parked outside the gate and were happy about that because we walked until 5:15.

Great place for a scenic walkPond Meadow Park is a great place for a scenic walk. There is a 2.6 mile newly paved walking (and biking) trail around the pond as well as some non-paved woods trails. There are picnic tables and benches to rest on throughout the park. Its a great place with lots of up and down to walk and ride bikes. Parking is free and its a dog friendly.

I love this place in all seasons!

Great local park for walking and connecting with nature.

My favorite place, more than 3 years ago

Ive been going to this park since I was a kid and have always loved it. It has a ton of birds and other wildlife. The pond is very scenic and the whole walk is pretty. There are quite a few hills, which I also enjoy. Many unpaged trails to explore in addition to the main loop as well. I am now bringing my own kids so they can enjoy the rocks and the pond and the many opportunities to explore.

Im only giving the park a two because of the people who go there. It is a gorgeous park and worth the trip, but 9 put 10 people I saw werent wearing masks, and were often talking in small groups. When I asked a few about masks, they said they didnt bother bringing one at all. So while the park is amazing, it is the ignorance of its regulars, that I would avoid.

Great place for walking. Kids and pet friendly. Paved trails or trails thru the woods

Wonderful place for a nature walk

One of my favourite parks - Any season really, just good chill vibes

It was alright, its a good place for a walk, jogg, or even chill.

Asphalt trail,easy on the feet.A great spot for a picnic near the pond

Immaculately clean. Shady 1.5 mile lap with mild hills.

Great place to walk and ride bikes. Without walking the dirt trails its about 2 miles.

Good Park, specially in Fall/Spring colors

Good park for walking and cycling 1.6 mile. Lacks directions on the way.

Beautiful wildlife. Good variety of trails and paths

Easy to get to. Long paths for walking or bike ride. Streams and pond to check out.. very peaceful

Nice walking area. Pet friendly. Good for whole family.

Quiet place for a walk in the woods!

Nice place for a walk instead of the side streets

I love this park

This is a great place to bring the family.

It’s a nice park with 1.6 mile round, you may walk, run, do cycling or take your dog. Nice lake remains dirty most of the time though. During summer ranger puts paid flower, plant that you can buy. He can be more specific about where to put/pay money because he is not there all the time.

Beautiful!

Great local park for an easy walk or nice run, fun seasonal activities put on through the park district is great. Fun to see the smelt count in the spring & summer. Good overall park.

Great park, love to walk there...look at rabbits and deers

Nice place for a easy paved nature walk

Wonderful sceneries and trails with great people.

Never knew it was there till stumbled upon it....

BEAUTIFUL PARK BUT THERE ARE ‘NO’ TRASH BARRELS ANYWHERE! Such a shame. There are food containers, straws, dog waste bags, plastic bottles littered throughout the trails. The sad part is a lot of this trash ends up at the waters edge where the geese, ducks, swan and turtles can get into all of it. Why aren’t there receptacles?

Great summer walking park.

4 mile hike beautiful day.no bugs

Beautiful place to visit in October!

Love this place! Great for dog walking... Please remember to pick up after your pets.

It was clean and a pleasant early morning walk!!

Love this park!! Gorgeous in the Fall.

Very great place o spend time with family or friends but there were street dogs roaming around.

Love walking there, the only one compliant is that some of the dog owners dont clean after their pets, hate that kind of people...

Nice place to walk,run,bike or picnic.

Great and calm park to excercise yourself walking the loop around nice pond. The loop is around 40 minutes walk, it has steep ups and downs. Beware that when there is a snow, the loop may be very slippery.

Beautiful reservation. I spent most of my childhood in the woods at pond meadow

Beautiful! Great place to walk, run or ride bikes.

Great park with beautiful lake. There are a lot of parking lots, benches and lunch areas inside. Many trails and bike paths.

Nice walking path, well maintained. Decent amount of parking space, pet friendly

Nice trails. Good for biking.

Nice paved loop with unpaved trails off off it. Nice views of the water. Large trees for lots of shade. Picnic areas. Only one bathroom at main entrance.

Great and calm park to excercise yourself walking the loop around nice pond.

Great park. Well maintained by the rangers. 1.5 mile paved walk/bike path is a favorite for all ages. Dog friendly. Short hiking trails off of the main path provide great views of the park.

Great place to walk around and enjoy nature with friends or loved ones

Lovely park for a walk! Perfect length for a dog walk. The main loop is paved so stroller friendly! They have day camps here in the summer.

Great biking trails.

Very nice park

A full walk around takes an hour, unless you walk fast. You can see the dam, feed ducks. Wide paved paths, 2 ways, hilly or not. Great bike riding, skating, kids riding motorized cars, walk your dog, jog. Real bathroom, free pkg. Very relaxing park in nature.Gazebo tables to eat.

Its a great walk in the park. All paved walkways, some trails through the woods.

Serene place to walk in Nature right in our neighborhood. Wildlife, beautiful woods, swans and a nice pond. Absolute heaven. Paved bike/walking trail, plus several well marked trails through the woods.

A bucolic 1.5 mile walk in the woods around a reservoir. Path goes up and down, but its not daunting at all.Dogs on leashes are welcome too.

Be careful of the ticks. If its above 40 degrees they are everywhere

Peaceful place for a short walk or run. Plus theres some great little trails.

Great place for walking and jogging as wellas short easy nature hikes.

I love this place its great to go get excersise I love the many trails you can walk and I love that you can also drive your car in to where the water is

Weve been going to Pond Meadow park for about 10 years. It is not huge, but it is lovely, especially for families. There is a paved, hilly path that goes all the way around. You can access from either the Weymouth side or the Braintree side. Theyve repaved some of the sections which is nice but they havent relined it yet. One side is for walkers and one side is for bicycles. Great for strollers!

Very great place well manicured

Excellent place to relax or get a little excerise. Great for dog walking or letting the kids ride a bike or scooter.

I love going for runs at this park

Good place but its have trash in some spot.

Great place to go for a walk.

This place is so nice for a walk friendly people but have trash in some spot.

Good for a nice walk

Great place to walk around and just clear the brain. We all know what its like having to much on the mind. Taking a walk around this park or any other park in a nice peaceful surrounding helps tremendously, GO FOR IT

Nice chill spot also trail walk with a tepe. And a beaver.

Pond Meadow Park is a wonderful place for a relaxing walk. You will enjoy the best of nature. Moderate walking on paved paths. Some small hill sections. Shaded, circles a pond with a dam. Parking at Weymouth and Braintree.

Very disappointed how dirty the water couldnt fish

We had a very nice walk here.

My husband and I come here whenever a nice day comes and we have some spare time. Weve seen deer(babies too!), turtles, snakes, bunnies and the list goes on... Very quiet and peaceful to walk with several trails to go down. The bridge is my favorite spot to look into the water and collect my thoughts. There is a Braintree entrance and a Weymouth one too! I prefer the Braintree side for parking.

Great and calm park to excercise yourself!

Nice to afternoon walk

The best pond this side of the meadow!

Great roomy park, bikes, walking trails, or stroll with your favorite furry animal, beautiful scenic view of lake with paved paths through the woods.

Very nice

I have been here thousands of times and find more new things every time the park is beautiful, there are so many beautiful plants and animals in the area. There are some amazing fishing spots and the water is clean for the area around Braintree. The camp is amazing and the counselors are some of the best. There are many events here like the pumpkin fest and a few Christmas events which produce money for the park. There is abundant bathrooms and many parking places. The park is ran by The Friends of Pond Meadow Park and they are all incredible and maintain the park and host the events, i assist in the events and it pays enough just to see the happy looks on peoples faces. The town halls want to put in a dog park where what is known as the cricket field, I feel we need to oppose this as it is supposed to be a nature reserve and this would greatly disrupt the natural environment and it would be a waste since the entire park is open to dogs.

Very nice place to take a walk

It’s a park. Some parts of the roads very muddy. There’s a pond, which I’m not sure has living things in it. I suppose it’d be a nice place to bring a kid to splash around. Nature walks maybe.

Great place to run or walk in a peaceful setting.

My place to get some walk everyday

Beautiful!
