Arlington’s Great Meadows, at 193 acres, is Arlington’s largest natural open space, though it is just over the border in East Lexington. The land is cared for by the Friends of Arlington’s Great Meadows (FoAGM) and the Arlington Conservation Commission.
AGM lies along the Minuteman Bikeway behind the Waldorf School and is accessible from there and a number of other locations, including from the Arlington Reservoir through the ACROSS Lexington C Trail.
Through a recent Eagle Scout project carried out by Ben Gregory of Arlington Troop 313, access has been improved from two entrance locations. The troop installed a new kiosk near the Sheila Road entrance, and a new sign by the Orchard Lane entrance.
Many thanks to all involved in this project.
