Great place to run especially on hot summer days. There're 2 water fountains and plenty of shade. The only downside is that the dogs can be very "excited" sometimes.

Get to the pond on a sunny day with a friend, your dog, your bike, or by yourself, and take a walk/run/ride around the 3 mile oasis. Then end your trip with a picnic overlooking the park!

very busy on nice weather weekends. best times to go are weekdays and mornings, or when the weather sucks put on your cold gear and enjoy the silence.

today is great for a walk. the flowers are blooming enough for aromatherapy along the way. the mud is drying, so you can walk on the dirt again.

Great place to stroll, too bad you can't come close to water.. It's city's protected fresh water reserve

For people that dont live in Cambridge and need to park, buy a $0.79 cent bottle of water at Whole Foods and use their parking lot. Take that parking stingy Cambridgians!

2.25 miles around the outside loop. 2.5 miles if you add a loop around Kingley Park (ie the inside loop).
