New Year’s Day hikes at Prospect Hill Park
January 1 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Free
Start off the new year with a hike up Prospect Hill to an amazing view during one of the Waltham Land Trust’s most popular events! Please note that there are TWO different departure times and locations.
Folks wanting a longer hike on various paths through the park should leave from Craft Food Hall at 200 5th Ave at 12:30 p.m. Those seeking a shorter trek either along the paved (not plowed) service road or via steep trails should depart at 1 p.m. from the park’s South Gate near 186 Prospect Hill Road. Park on roads in the neighborhood and be mindful of driveways and “No Parking” signs. Please carpool if possible.
Regardless of where you leave from, be prepared to walk on slippery paths that may have rocks, roots, and challenging terrain. Both groups will meet at the accessible vista point of Little Prospect for fabulous views of Waltham below and Boston in the distance.
Dress for the weather; cancelled in very cold temperatures or if precipitation is falling. Well-mannered, leashed dogs are welcome.
