    It’s a beautiful, divine spot to enjoy a calm and peaceful one-mile walk or jog. There’s adorable ducks enjoying the water and some truly wonderful views in a serene atmosphere. There were, however, far too many inconsiderate jerks walking the wrong way and not even wearing masks altogether, ignoring safety measures and endangering everyone else. But, known as Baby Bear Lake by some of the other wonderful locals, this wonderful spot cannot be ruined by the minority of selfish people.

    Even on a twilight stroll around the reservoir, this place was magically beautiful. What an incredible respite from the urban scene!

    Absolutely stunning park for jogging and running. The pond water doesn't smell bad either. The circumference should be at least a mile long and there are benches all over the park.

    The park is beautiful and quite clean. Great place to walk, jog, and fish. You can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere here. Best time for seeing cherry blossom(2021): early May

    A newly renovated park/pond area. Very nice to walk/run around, or have an impromptu picnic. Its OK for fishing as well, especially with kids, but don't expect to catch any big fish.

    This is a lovely Reservoir Park - there is a wide, flat path that goes all the way around the Reservoir that leaves plenty of space for runners and those on a leisurely walk to enjoy the path together without always needing to jump out of the way of each other. There are benches scattered around if you want to sit and enjoy the scenery for a bit, and several people were enjoying them with a book. I went with a friend and we paused to chat on a bench. On one end of the Reservoir there is a bathroom and a water fountain that has a drinking spout, a water bottle filling station and a built in dog bowl.

    Beautiful serene place to take a stroll. There is no biking or skating, so you are not rushed. The pond is surrounded by a wonderful diversity of trees and shrubs. There are benches placed around the entire reservoir. There is free parking around the reservoir. I would advise anyone visiting, to remember that there are private homes surrounding the reservoir. Please be respectful.

    easy loop— great if you are walking alone and want a well traveled path vs. a hike.

  • 5/5 Zachary K. 11 months ago on Google
    Quaint area to walk around the reservoir. Good for short walks and dogs. Fishing is allowed but swimming and biking is not.

  • 5/5 Josephine D. X. 5 years ago on Google
    The reservoir is flanked all around by beautiful cherry blossom trees! Great place to fish, jog, walk and enjoy the blossoms in early to mid May! Went on Mothers Day and weather was beautiful! parking can be challenging.

    A fantastic small Park located just outside Boston. Great for a quick respite to recharge the soul and this gem of a park truly does.

    Easily accessible, clean, nice for running. Can get noisy with route 9, lots of geese droppings.

    Lovely park. There are no barriers around the water to obstruct the view anywhere. It's a beautiful walk to get there too.

    Love this park.. Beautiful location and great spot during the cherry blossom season during may first week usually. Trees all around the reservoir are treat to watch. Great for walk and small picnic time. Lows: Parking is on a less accessed road.. Usually would find a spot No public amenities (bathroom)
