Hammond Pond reservation

The more time that you can spend her, the better you will like it . There are scenic trails for the walkers. Not only is it a beautiful, peaceful spot, but it offers the option to climb rocks. The sun sparkle through the leaves, and the people that you meet here are quite pleasant, but hard to understand when they aren't panting from the climb. This spot does attract families, and some friendly animals, on a leash. The MIT outing club references this spot. Another plus for the local is that ait is reachable vial the MBTA's Green Line (a plus for visitors as well).

    Pleasant, easy walk
    Great for a short walk with dogs and kids -- or just for getting out. Not challenging but wide trails. Mosquitoes certain times of the year. Cut across to Webster Woods for a longer hike.

    Not for the faint of heart
    An urban oasis bisected by Hammond Pond Parkway and the Green Line I've found no solitude here! Parking is best at the back of the Mall by the pond but you must contend with mall employee parking year 'round and holiday shoppers packing the place in winter. If you really need a stroll among the puddingstone this about the best place on earth to do it and it is especially good to let the little people blow off excess energy - but lacking a geological interest, I much prefer Blue Hill Reservation in Milton even with it's warts. .
