Cold Spring Park — Attraction in Newton

Less than half a mile away from the worst Whole Foods location in the region is one of the BEST hidden gems imaginable! This park is extraordinarily beautiful across all seasons. There’s ample parking across different portions of the park to situate you near your intended activity: trail walk/run, basketball/soccer, and the humongous open field. Just be careful not to drive too fast upon entering and exiting the park, as there’s a considerable bump.

The trail is so beautiful and it’s heavenly to the senses: stunning sights with birds flying about and chipmunks and squirrels scattering around, and all the wonderful sounds of nature.

There are exercise stations situated throughout the trail, with clear how-to pictures and guides. The trail is very well-maintained with not a single cigarette or bottle or other piece of trash to be found. I wish the trail was better-labeled; there’s random arrows on some trees but with no explanation or any context as to where those trails would lead. But this will quickly become one of your favorite spots to trail run, enjoy nature, experience a respite from the summer sun, and enjoy clean air away...

Absolutely terrific, very large, park that's great for both families looking to play sports or nature lovers wanting to escape the city-esque Newton! Just sitting on one of the many benches and listening to the birds chirping was very serene and beautiful. Ate my lunch there, it was very peaceful and not too many people either.

I've also been here with Newton Conservator's Invasive Pulls so highly reccommend to residents! Get involved in your community and give back to our natural parks 💞

Amenities: 3 tennis courts, 4 basketball courts, a very large soccer field, and softball field with a willow tree! Also an exercise structure which i thought was neat. In June-October Newton's weekly farmers markets take place, I've personally never been, but I'd suggest to people passing by to make a pit-stop if you can.

Also upon entering, spotted their pollinator garden which was really cool-- and Green Newton's sustainability...

This is a great local park with simple trails, minimal incline areas, a dog park, a few fields (soccer) tennis courts, water ponds and streams.

The trails and park is well kept with a few muddy areas during the rainy seasons. It's been wetter than usual the last few seasons so there's an accumulation of water along the trail from flooding. Worth note to bring some waterproof boots or shoes if you can for the rainy days but that's part of nature.

The dog park is popular with friendly dogs always coming through throughout the day. Everyone cleans up pretty well so there's not poo everywhere.

There is also plenty of parking in the main entrance, and there are farmers markets during the warmer seasons on Saturdays.

Recommend for all,...
