A peaceful pond view all the way out into Vineyard sound, a field of wildflowers, and trail easements to Trade Winds Preserve and beyond.
From the Landbank’s Page for the Preserve: When Oak Bluffs voters in 1992 purchased land for a new elementary school, they also purchased an abutting 17.5 acres of meadow, pond and wetland to serve as an “outdoor laboratory” for pupils. A conservation easement over this land was awarded to the land bank, which manages it both for student study and for general public enjoyment. A trail connects South Circuit Avenue and the school and then continues past the town wellfield into the Trade Wind Fields Preserve — a superb natural experience only minutes from Oak Bluffs center. Also available for exploration is the 9.7-acre knob of land projecting into the Farm Pond from the Beach Road.
Getting there: If school is not in session you can park at the Oak Bluffs School.
