We think Big Pond is beautiful no matter the time of year, but there's something extra special about summer.

The pond comes alive with movement and sound—from turtles soaking up the sunshine to snakes gliding gracefully through the water, and the many frogs that call Big Pond home. Around every corner, there's something fascinating to discover.

If you're looking for a way to slow down and reconnect with nature, we encourage you to spend a few moments by the pond. Unwind, and take in the relaxing sights and sounds of one of Fernwood's most beloved places.
