One of the most frequent questions we receive at Newton Conservators is “Where are there accessible trails in Newton?” Would you like more accessibility in our open spaces? Then this is a meeting to let your sentiments be known. One Newton area that comes to mind is the Dolan Pond Conservation Area – which has both trailside HP parking as well as all main trails accessible.
