Borderland is a wonderful place. I usually only stay on the main trail for walking and running…read more Plenty of grass areas to play catch or picnic, plus benches and picnic tables throughout. Relaxing, quiet, and so many nice spots to enjoy the ponds, waterfall, spring noises of frogs, and foliage in the fall. I ride my bike or run or walk through regularly and enjoy it. I have also taken the kids to some of the mansion tours and the presentations about nature in the park building. Enjoyed those too.

This is one of the best places in the area to go for a hike. There are several scenic ponds to…read moremeander around and a nearly endless possibility of trails to take. We typically like to hike up to the radio tower in the center of the park on one trail and take a different way back to the car. There are boulders, cliffs, and rock gardens all over the place. That scores bonus points for me because I can't seem to pass a rock without wanting to climb to the top of it. Mountaing biking here is just as fun. You can wind your way up some rock infested single track to the top and then barrel down the fire roads. Or meader along the double track that crisscrosses all over the place before coming across a sign that leads you to a bike loop. There's a little something for everyone here and you can ride half the day without seeing the same parts twice. A lot of the single track is very challenging and covered with rocks, but there are still plenty of trails for every skill level. My only complaint is that while many of the main trails are clearly marked there are a lot of trails with no markings and a lot of them that aren't even on the map. The last time I was here I decided that I had had enough biking and wanted to head back to the car. The only problem is I had no idea where I was. Getting lost can be half the fun, but sometimes it's also nice to know where you are.

(there were so many kids in it now…read moreit was difficult to take pictures without looking creepy LOL) new structures promote climbing and safe spins; swing set streamlined and added with a large full-back seat and pull-down lock-in harness. many of above state "for age 5 and up", but plenty of younger folks seem to enjoy them equally. i personally supervise my own very closely to ensure safety for all. most caretakers i have seen on this ground seem to be doing the same. small "tree house" library is added on new ground as well. hope we can all take part in keeping it nice and filled. only issue so far is the bathroom. while i'm glad the facility was available when i needed to use it, the condition inside was abysmal. it stank, toilet paper thrown everywhere, hand soap dispenser missing with the refilling bag lying around helplessly. was shocked to find the stark contrast of the state of the bathroom with the new stuff right outside. later learned it was likely a result of repeated vandalism and irresponsible use during off hours. sad that the town may have to decide to lock it up to prevent future happenings.

Fulton pond is still one of the best parks and ponds in the area…read more There is regular and handicapped parking in the private lot. Benches are provided. There is a new fishing dock. Lunch tables are available near the fountains by the stream. Duck do visit the pond. However, there has been an increase in geese in recent years. Signs are posted stating not to feed the birds. There is plenty of grass for a blanket or picnic. A special treat is the yearly rubber duck race for young children. Still a local pleasure, we will return.

Five baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball court, playground and over 1.3 miles of public trails. Baseball fields are in great shape with dugouts, bleachers and large backstops. The tennis courts looks good. The ball fields can be reserved and books. [Review 15257 overall, 759 of 2021, number 1116 in Massachusetts.]

The size-able parking area and bandstand serve as a great location for Independence Day festivities for the community with an old time carnival atmosphere which continues for hours leading up to the fireworks. In past times there was a railroad not far that brought Boston's movers and shakers to the lake for summer recreation. Some of the buildings from that time remain, at least partially, such as the present day senior center. Lake Massapoag is the headwater of Canoe River as well as Massapoag Brook. The Canoe River leads to Taunton River and eventually to Narragansett Bay. Massapoag Brook flows to the Neponset River which empties into Dorchester Bay. One of the more interesting wildlife facts about Lake Massapoag is that there is a species of eel which migrates up the Atlantic coast and all the way to Lake Massapoag, moving overland nocturnally during rainy nights.
