Jamaica Pond, located in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, is a picturesque 68-acre body of water surrounded by a scenic 1.5-mile path, making it a popular destination for walkers and runners. Established as part of Boston's Emerald Necklace of parks in 1892, the pond offers activities such as fishing, sailing, and boating, with services provided by the Courageous Sailing Center.
The pond is not only a recreational haven but also serves as a vibrant community hub, hosting various events throughout the year, including the annual Lantern Parade. Historically significant, Jamaica Pond was once surrounded by the summer homes of wealthy Bostonians and has long been a favorite spot for winter ice skating.
