Saturday Morning Fall Foliage Walk @ Pond Meadow Park w/ South Shore Walkabouts

Let's meet for a Saturday Morning Fall Foliage Walk @ Pond Meadow Park (PMP)! This is one of our favorite walking locations. We will be meeting and walking from the Braintree side of PMP. One of the great things about walking at PMP is there are some shady areas along with some nice breezes once in awhile. Let's meetup and get to know each other while walking around the pond!

We'll walk 2-3 loops today, possibly adding in the Weymouth entrance stretch. 2 laps plus that stretch will net us 3.9 miles in about 1 hr and 15-20 minutes.

Pond Meadow Park consists of a paved loop as well as paved walkways to and from both sets of parking lots. This path is hilly with some flat terrain. If you choose to head out into the woods the trails are marked but not paved. The loop is 1.6 miles, with the walk to and from the parking lot it is 1.9 miles. It takes about 35-40 minutes to walk the loop. If we walk the loop twice it's a total of 3.5 miles and takes between 1 hr and 1 hr and 15 minutes, depending on pace. If we walk to the street of the Weymouth entrance it adds .4 miles and takes about 5-10 minutes.

Please Note: Because the number of spaces available is limited for this event, we ask that members please RSVP "Yes" only if they are 99% sure they will attend. If you do RSVP "Yes" and later realize you will not/can no longer attend, please change your RSVP from "Yes" to "No" so that someone else may have the opportunity to attend. Also, there is no need to RSVP "No" unless it is to change your RSVP from Yes to No.
