Alewife Brook Reservation
Alewife Brook Reservation, Nature reserve and state park in Cambridge, US.
The 136-acre Alewife Brook Reservation contains wetlands, wooded uplands, and meadows that support numerous indigenous and migratory bird species.
Established in 1900, this area was formerly known as the Great Swamp in the 1600s, characterized by tidal wetlands before urban development.
The reservation functions as an educational center where visitors learn about wetland ecosystems and environmental conservation through organized programs.
Located near Alewife MBTA station, the park offers walking trails, tennis courts, athletic fields, and fishing opportunities from sunrise to sunset.
The reservation features a 3.4-acre stormwater management wetland that stores and filters urban runoff while creating new habitats for local wildlife.
