Lexington Community Farm

Tower Park

Located on Mass. Ave., across from the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum and Library. Adjacent to the bike path, Tower Park is also a steep sledding hill.

West Farm

Enter on Oak St. The hillside is not only great for sledding, but presents a beautiful view of Wilson Farm and the surrounding area. Don’t forget to visit the cows at the pasture and shed nearby.

Whipple Hill

Enter at Winchester Dr. at the Winchester town line. Providing the highest point in Lexington, the summit offers beautiful vistas of the surrounding countryside. Hike on some of the many trails or enjoy ice skating, fishing, and nature study at Locke Pond.

Willard’s Woods

This 100-acre area is one of the loveliest in town. There is a parking lot on North St., off of Adams St., and from there follow the various dirt paths. Diversions for preschoolers include looking for frogs at the pond and watching for snakes and chipmunks along the old stone wall. Or, leave the stroller under a tree and loop through the woods past the ten-foot boulder, and the vernal pool’s muddy residue to the meadow. Note, its is also a favorite place to walk dogs.

Worthen Road to Bridge School

Park at the Center Playground or along Worthen Rd. across from the High School playing fields. The conservation lands south of Worthen Rd. are accessed by two paths, navigable by stroller and tricycle. The western entrance is the start of a Fitness Path, with a boardwalk over wetlands marked by self-directed exercise stations. The second entrance is further east on Worthen Rd. and features a paved bike path. Take the path to its end, past Lincoln Park Fields and across Middleby Road. From here the bike path winds through the woods to Bridge School and the Old Reservoir (Old Res).
