New Video! Hall’s Pond Sanctuary Re-Opening Celebration Ribbon Cutting – July 15, 2026

On Wednesday, July 15, 2006, the Brookline Department of Public Works, in partnership with the Friends of Hall’s Pond, hosted a re-opening celebration for the sanctuary. This family-friendly gathering offered a short speaking program, opportunities to learn about the sanctuary’s wildlife and restoration efforts, and light refreshments. Guests explored the boardwalk, woodland trails, and pond overlook, with natural resource staff and local volunteers available to share information about ongoing stewardship efforts.
