Sailor's Home Pond
Overview
Sailor’s Home Pond on Rice Road is a popular spot to skate in the winter. The pond is surrounded by a chain-link fence with gates that are opened when the ice is 4 inches thick.
Neighbors and students at nearby Beechwood Knoll Elementary School have worked hard to restore the pond to good health, and it shows. The pond is a great place to go birding or listen to bullfrogs yell “jug-o-rum.”

I skated on this pond with my dad when I was a kid. I was impressed that he could skate so well. I remember that he fell backwards ( the ice was real chippy) and he bumped his head. It was very early spring, as I recall, and there were little brown bats that swooped around catching whatever insects were flying around at the time. I don't remember ever skating with my dad any other time in my life. I grew up in Wollaston. I idealized alot of my youthful experiences there. But it really was a fun place to live.
