Jamaica Plain · Directions
Jamaica Pond is a glacial kettle pond framed by vegetation and shoreline paths, with fishing, running, biking, concerts, children's programs, and a historic boathouse and bandstand.
Rowboat and sailboat rentals are seasonal, and private boats are not allowed. Recent plaza accessibility work does not resolve the current feasibility study's remaining accessibility and code questions for the buildings and surrounding area.
