Hammond Pond Reservation is a protected woodland park in Newton, Massachusetts. It features Hammond Pond, fishing and hiking trails as well as formations of sandstone conglomerate and Roxbury puddingstone which are popular for rock climbing. The reservation is part of the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston. Its first parcel was acquired from John Lowell in 1916. Trails connect it to the adjacent Webster Woods and Houghton Garden. The MBTA Green Line (Riverside Branch) cuts through the connected park system from East to West, while Hammond Pond Parkway splits it from North to South. Hammond Pond is listed as a Massachusetts "Great pond". The pond and reservation are named after the Hammond family, which settled in the area in the 17th century.

It’s a very interesting hiking spot over small rolling hills of emerald green moss on once molten volcanic rock — so if you’re interested in a small challenge take the blue trail. The location is terrific and a nice mix of level walking trails around Hammond Pond in the chestnut hill area. if you stay on the easy trails it’s lovely though busy at times. It’s not pleasant to give 3 stars this wonderful area but it needs some TLC to clean up the flotsam and detritus of a few past campers.

I only top roped here. But it looks like a great place to take a walk in the woods. As far as climbing goes, it was super fun. Lots of cracks to climb. Great place.

This small nature reserve is a bit of an oasis of pleasing countryside tucked away in the midst of busy streets and malls. It is a nice place to take a walk or stroll. And of course lots of people come to practice their rock climbing at one of the few locations to climb near Boston. But there are some drawbacks here as well: The trails seem tired and worn with all the use they get. The area has lost some of it's lush and green and verdant appearance over the years. And, unfortnately, there is oftentimes litter along the edges of the trails. But it is still one of the few natural getaways so close to all the streets and...

Hammond Pond Reservation is a fantastic spot for walking and is very dog-friendly. Conveniently located right across from Chestnut Hill Mall, it’s my go-to place whenever I drop my wife off for shopping. My husky, Max, loves it here, and it’s perfect for off-leash walks.

The trails are well-planned, clearly marked, and offer a peaceful environment. There are even areas where you can practice some light mountain climbing. Both the people and the dogs we meet are always friendly.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing outdoor escape with or without a...
