Pond Meadow Park
Braintree, MA 02184

Meeting Description

Who

Anyone who would like a good cardio workout in the form of a walk.

Why

Here's another reason from my growing list: Per WebMD, "The benefits of walking include an improved sense of well-being or happiness with the increased endorphin levels."

Organized by

"We will meet by the flagpole near the ranger station and map."
--Jana (SSFMG Assistant Organizer Extraordinaire )

Details

We'll be meeting up again for a social Walk in the Park @ Pond Meadow Park!

(It's Spring and it's staying lighter, longer! We'll be shaking things up a bit soon with some new locations. But, for now, PMP is centrally-located and temperate, so we love it in May!) As an aside, please vote in the "walkers" poll to let me know where you'd like to do week-night walks as it gets warmer!

We will be meeting on the Braintree side of PMP at the top of the path where the Bike Path Rules are posted immediately next to the parking lot next to the map and ranger station.

Please Note: There are only two entrances to PMP - in Braintree and Weymouth. There is only one place to meet on the path and that's where the Braintree and Weymouth paths converge. We will be walking against the flow of traffic, therefore, if you will be more than 10 minutes late you could potentially meet us at the merge as we will wait 5-10 minutes for late (Yes RSVP) arrivals, and within 5-10 minutes of our departure we will pass the convergence of the paths.

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.
