Medway is conducting a survey on parks, recreation areas and other public land to see how it can be improved. We decided to visit some of these spots today. There are too many to get a good look in one day.
This spot is behind the Medway Police Station. We parked in their lot and walked a short unmarked path to a nice clearing with benches. The officer we spoke to said it is used mostly for fishing.
By driving through the parking area of the Sanford Mills Condominiums and Apartments, the site of Medway's old amphitheater can be found. At least as far back as 1813 (Medway's centennial) the area was cleared and used for games and recreation. Now it is wooded, but a loop trail has been cleared. Here is where the Charles River flows through. Apparently this rock is a landmark. There are a couple of picnic tables and a trail kiosk with a map.
We have launched our canoe on the Charles River in Medway several times but we didn't realize that a new boat launch had been created. There was another launch spot a couple hundred yards upstream from here that was hard to manage.
We also went to the dog park on Village Street. I thought I'd taken a photo of the sign and gate but I can't find it.
This memorial area is at the town square near town hall. There are memorials to all US wars and conflicts except the Civil War, with names of those who served.
We found the Civil War monument down the street across from the Police Station. There were no names listed though.
Memorial to Vietnam War MIAs and POWs.
This spot on Rt 109 near the Milford town line memorializes Lawrence Leigh who was Medway's only Vietnam War casualty.
Oakland Park is across the street from our first house, where we lived when Ben was born. We spent a lot of time at the playground here. The senior center is on this property also.
The Medway Community Farm.
