Free pedicab service around Fresh Pond begins in June

From Wicked Local

Cambridge —

Neville Place, an assisted living and memory support community overlooking Fresh Pond, announces the return of pedicab service around the perimeter of Fresh Pond beginning in June.

This free service, sponsored by the Fresh Pond Trust, is provided during the spring and summer to allow Cambridge seniors and local residents who might not be able to navigate the trail on their own to enjoy the beauty of such a relaxing, natural setting. Tours leave from the main entrance of Neville Place at 650 Concord Ave. continuously throughout the day, three days a week.

“The pedicab service is something that Neville Place residents look forward to each year,” said Jamie McWilliam, executive director at Neville Place. “It enhances their quality of life and provides an opportunity for them to get out and enjoy the sights and sounds of Fresh Pond in an extraordinary way.”

Each ride takes about 30 minutes to complete the main loop, giving riders ample time to observe the birdlife and wildflowers that abound throughout Fresh Pond. For reservations, call 617-233-6394.
