Jamaica Pond

2021-06-10

Naturally shaped because of the frigid activities, The Jamaican Pond is sorted as a pot lake and was also remembered for Boston's "Emerald Necklace" of parks and is found 6 miles from the downtown area. The park conducts events around the year and is incredible for a stroll around the lake for its pleasant, loosening up atmosphere and the extraordinary views around the park. An unadulterated, frosty pot opening, Jamaica Pond charmed Olmsted with its "extraordinary excellence in reflections and flashing half-lights." The largest standing waterway in the Emerald Necklace, it required not many alterations to feature its normal magnificence. Olmsted preserved a large part of the existing vegetation and outlined the lake with new trees, shrubs and paths. Today, the boathouse at Jamaica Pond provides facilities for sailing and paddling. Visitors can fish by license and the lake is stocked with trout and salmon raised in state hatcheries consistently. The fields over the Sugar Bowl are the ideal spot to outing or play a little wiffle ball with your family. Among free things to do in Boston, the mainstream Summer Sundays in the Park attract families and friends to scenic Pinebank Promontory for open air Sunday evening concerts and movies.
