Beaver Brook Playground/Dog Park + Mighty Squirrel Taproom
Saturday June 15, 2019
2pm - 5pm
FREE
PANE is sponsoring another nature jaunt at the Beaver Brook Reservation in Belmont, 300 acre woodland area with a playground, dog park and open fields. Families, friends, children and dogs are welcome.
We plan to meet at the Beaver Brook Splash Park and Playground, readily visible from Trapelo Road. You’re welcome to spend your time there are elsewhere in the park. Then we plan to cap off our time outdoors with a trip to a local pub, the Mighty Squirrel Taproom in Waltham.
Beaver Brook is known for its walking trails, open fields, woodlands, and fishing spots. In addition you are welcome to enjoy the bike path, a cascading waterfall, wading pool, a newly renovated playground (with splash park available in August) and, for the canine contingent, an off-leash dog area. The reservation offers programs on wildlife and cultural history. Restrooms and a tot lot are also available.
It is a good idea to bring a bottle of water and wear appropriate foot gear. Please use standard protections against ticks as you would in any wooded area, i.e. long pants, long sleeves and insect repellant.
