There are benches and picnic tables to rest and take in the surroundings. Donated $5 and was given two large Ziploc bags full of corn to feed the ducks & gees... People often mention ducks, geese,

    A great place to take in some nature and feed ducks. There is a peaceful and scenic path around the pond that is maintained and easy to walk. There are benches and picnic tables to rest and take in the surroundings. Donated $5 and was given two large Ziploc bags full of corn to feed the ducks & geese. Went through one bag this visit and saved the other for my next visit.

    Lovely, calm, natural environment. Walked the 0.5 mi Veterans Memorial trail, and it was a nice little escape from the world. Some wild black raspberries (if I'd known I'd have brought a bag for picking!). Great view of marshlands. Plenty of benches around the pond, some of which are shared on the trail. There are a variety of ducks there, including a turkey duck! The veteran's memorial trail connects up with the Rand tract trail, which is a nice bonus.

    Great place to see ducks, geese, and other wildlife. Can feed them corn or lettuce available onsite.

    Definitely making this a ritual after 2 weekends in a row. Such a beautiful place and the geese are so friendly. Even the swan loves us!

    I've been coming here since I was a little kid and the simple, calming, stress-free environment still fills my heart with a happy feeling every time I'm there. The staff are so kind and friendly, and keep me wanting to come back every single time I leave.

    The upgrades they have made in the past couple years have made a good stop with kids or alone, even better. Very Zen.

    Absolutely loved seeing and feeding all the geese and ducks! Truly remarkable that they provide the waterfowl a pleasant sanctuary for people to come visit. Will indeed visit again!

    Loved it! Beautiful place to come for short walk with family, we visited few times while staying in area - lots of ducks, geese, chipmunks - great for kids.

    Been going since I was a kid. It's a great place to bring the kids or just go yourself. The walking trail goes all around the pond and is completely accessible making it great for wheelchairs and strollers.

    I used to spend time at Webster's Pond as a kid, and it was always a nice little spot in the city to enjoy a bit of nature. Today it is a bit over developed. It's a very small area that has replaced natural surroundings with fences, buildings, and a rather obnoxious electronic speaker blurting "Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!" at you as you walk down the entry road. The entire place is saturated with signage, (none of which blends well with the natural surroundings). Every available area has been posted with a sign. They have made it accessible with roads and paths throughout, but have compromised the natural beauty in doing so. I much prefer to hike around the Rand Tract behind the pond to enjoy the unspoiled beauty.

    We’ve been coming back here every summer but it’s getting worse every single year! Less and less ducks compared to two years before. The water is so filthy.

    Wonderful place to relax, which is very lovingly cared for. There are benches set up around the water so you can always take a break with a great view. The geese especially like salad, but don't get too pushy.
