A small spring-fed pond on Snow Street next to McCann Fields, historically used by neighborhood residents for informal ice skating. The banks are now overgrown with invasive plants and are not easily reached in warmer months, though a seating area sits near the newly rebuilt McCann Fields parking lot.
