#FreshPond has a public 9 hole golf course run by the City of #CambridgeMA

The course is almost 100 years old, and Boston area land usage has changed significantly since then. Some people believe that having a golf course this close to Boston is a critical recreation facility. Some people believe that the ecological impact of golf courses is too high, and that they are a byproduct of a different era.

As we think about changes we need to make to mitigate #Climate change and serve the changing needs of residents, I wonder:

What should the City of Cambridge do with the golf course over the next 25 years? #Boston #MAPoli

Exciting news, the #FreshPond Beer Garden is coming back on Friday! Possibly the most charmingly uncool beer garden in the #Boston area, and therefore my favorite. #CambridgeMA

Baby ice shove on Fresh Pond today. The wind blew the ice sheet to the shore causing it to heave up and make tiny ice cracking sounds. Hear it and see it on the video below. #cambridgema #ice #iceshove #freshpond #mawx

I wish Ranger Tim maintained a fediverse presence (not the first time I've felt that way, either)!
