Walker Pond Community Meeting

Please join the City of Watertown at the second meeting for the future Walker Pond Park on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 6pm at the Jewish Community Day School, located at 57 Stanley Avenue in Watertown. At the meeting, you will learn about community feedback and survey results from the first meeting in August to help shape the overall community vision for the site. The landscape architects will present draft design concepts based on the community feedback, and then you will be able to share more ideas and feedback for the future of the Park.

Following the community meeting #2, the City will also release an online survey to collect input on the design options. The 3rd and final community meeting will be held later this year.
