A small pond within Vine Lake Cemetery, Medfield's only public cemetery, established in 1651 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The pond is used informally for ice skating in winter and for fishing, including a spring stocking, in summer; it sits inside active cemetery grounds rather than a standalone park.
