Great for running, multiple open air gyms and group exercise on the common. Regular music performances at the Band Stand, perfect on a summer day. Nice cafe nearby serves plentiful ice cream.

Great place to go for a walk in the fresh air and enjoy the scenic views of the common. Great place to go for jogging too!

In 1768 Benjamin Franklin, American statesman and Founding Father, conducted experiments in Mount Pond including pouring oil onto the water to examine how liquids behave. Anglers were not amused.
