A 31-acre town pond with a state boat ramp and resident beach off Broadway Extension, officially the Dr. Robert Fitzgerald Conservation Area. It draws more anglers than swimmers: no lifeguards are staffed anymore due to funding, and it's a popular spring and fall trout-fishing spot after DCR stocking.
