A loop of trail around a pond. Don't make it a destination, but it's good if you're in the area for a walk. Decent ice skating spot in winter.

Exactly half a mile (800m) around a small pond. Cool to run through and hike around the stream, and see the wildlife. Lots of activity from frogs, geese, bird and other animals. Very secluded for being in a neighborhood and I visit very often
