What a lovely little park! We had a couple of hours to kill, brought our books, and just enjoyed the peace, quiet, and great water views. Many little areas to just sit and relax. Random picnic tables and benches, many with great views of the lake. Includes a short walking path. There is a bike rental rack. There is a big playground with very few kids while we were there. Parking is very limited. If you found this review helpful, I would appreciate a thumbs up!

You need to come by the pond at sunset. Take a walk along the bike path. Sit along the shore and relax. What a gem - PS Masshole Donuts is just a couple blocks away!

Good for boating, Parking Limited. Its always been clean when we've gone there over 4 decades of visits. Can be crowded but not usually. The water is usually good quality except after rains due to runoff.

One of the best places to relax with your kids in an urban environment. Spy pond is uniquely located right in the center of Arlington, MA. Grab a coffee or a drink from a variety of nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Take your kids to the small playground at Spy pond or go for a comfortable stroll along the spy pond that will connect you to the Minuteman Bike Trail. Perfect to enjoy in the fall weather.

I love this place. It's an absolutely lovely place to just sit and watch the world go by. Kids can feed the passing ducks and geese. There is a bike trail and a path to walk one's dogs. There is a parking lot. I have seen some people fishing there as well. There is also a play area for the younger kids.
