Greenspaces and waterways
"Almost all of the parks have been recently redone," Bjorgaard says. "The area has undergone a lot of reimagining." Great Esker Park, an area largely made up of an esker formed from a glacier 12,000 years ago, is a popular spot for canoeing, kayaking and hiking. "The trails here are amazing," Bjorgaard says. Great Esker Park also connects to Osprey Overlook Park, an open, grassy space with a paved trail and picnic area. The 100-acre Whittman's Pond offers access to boaters and anglers who cast lines for bass, bluegill, pickerel, crappie and lake trout. Residents take their children to the William E. Newell Memorial Playground overlooking the Weymouth River.
