Capisic Pond Park
Eighteen wetland acres with a turtle pond and a wet-season waterfall
About this park
An 18-acre wetland preserve in Nasons Corner with a short trail loop around a small pond, a seasonal waterfall on the south end, and dense bird and turtle activity in the warmer months. Trails are leashed and the loop is on the short side, so plan it as a stop rather than a long outing.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 153 Google reviewsVisitors point to the turtle-sunning logs, the spring lupine bloom, and the in-the-city quiet as the reasons to stop here. The pond reflections after a rain are a low-key local photography draw.
More of a neighborhood walking loop than a dog-meeting spot, with a small regulars circle who know the bird patterns by season. Quiet weekday mornings are the move.
Best for
Before you go
The trail has rooty stretches and one steep stone-step descent, so leave the stroller at home and watch for slick spots after rain. Visit after a wet stretch if you want to see the south-end waterfall actually running.
