A roughly 69-acre town-owned slice of the larger Fowl Meadow wetland complex, bordered by Route 95, the Neponset River and the Manor/Greenlodge neighborhood. It is undisturbed, swampy, and has no established trails, so most people experience it by walking the residential streets along its edge rather than entering it.
