Pond Meadow Park - Park in Braintree - 470 Liberty St, USA

Navigating the circular trail, I found myself surrounded by the embracing arms of the woods, each step unveiling a new facet of the serene landscape. The trail meandered gently, leading me towards the heart of the forest where the centerpiece awaited – a tranquil lake, its still waters reflecting the subdued tones of the overhead canopy. With the lake at the center of the circular path, the wooded surroundings created an intimate and secluded atmosphere. The absence of direct sunlight added to the mysterious allure, casting a subtle, diffused light over the entire scene. The trees stood like silent guardians, their branches reaching towards the water, creating a natural sanctuary that felt untouched by the outside world. As I walked along the circular trail, the symphony of nature unfolded around me. The calls of unseen birds echoed through the air, harmonizing with the gentle rustle of leaves. The path guided me to different vantage points, each offering a unique perspective of the circular lake. The reflections on the water's surface held a captivating charm, capturing the essence of the surrounding woods in a perfect, mirrored symmetry. Reaching the midpoint of the trail, I paused to absorb the tranquility that enveloped the circular lake. The cool, diffused light painted the scene with a sense of quiet reverence. The water, undisturbed by any external force, seemed to hold its secrets in a reflective embrace. Continuing my journey along the circular trail, I felt a sense of connection with the natural rhythm of the surroundings. The subdued light filtered through the foliage, creating an ethereal glow that accentuated the contours of the lake. Each step became a dance with nature, a rhythmic exploration of the circular path that led me deeper into the heart of this enchanting oasis. As the circular trail guided me back to where I began, the lake stood as a serene centerpiece, a silent witness to the timeless beauty that unfolded within the wooded sanctuary. The absence of direct sunlight did not diminish the allure; instead, it cast a quiet spell over the circular trail, turning the walk into a contemplative journey through a hidden haven where the circular embrace of nature held me in its tranquil grip.

Very nice green space for a walk. It's nice that the main path is paved. You can hear noise from cars the whole way around, but loudest near the entrance. We saw birds, butterflies, squirrels, and grasshoppers. Some flowers.

Give it a 3.5 stars. Free parking and dog friendly. However, the dog or dogs will need to be on a leash. The park trails are easy to walk or hike.

Well maintained, clean and quiet paved trail with wooded spurs. I will definitely come back to explore again!

Excellent well maintained park with 20 acres around the pond. Plenty of little walking trails in the wooded areas, they are color marked. It’s impossible to get lost. It’s one big circle! The off trails are woodsy but the main drag is paved. Excellent place to walk the dog. I’ve never seen any dogs off-leash (not allowed)acting out of sorts. Hands down best walking place outside Boston - for beginners and all alike! - watch out for bicycles. Plenty of parking, handful of parking lots.

Pond Meadow is a staple of my childhood growing up in the area. The park really hasn't changed much and is very well maintained and also nostalgic for me. It's a nice, short walk with some pretty views all times of the year. Sometimes, you will see some critters around. I remember as a kid, we use to see baby turtles down by the water and an occasional deer. Though a simple park, it is definitely worth the visit!

I've 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.

We live on pond meadow. It's great. It's easily the best pond on the south shore. Lots of wildlife including deer. If you have a mountain bike, it's a great ride with lots of side trails. Highly recommend!
