On Belmont Hill, just 6 miles northwest of downtown Boston, lies Habitat, a 90-acre urban oasis. Over 2.5 miles of gentle trails wind through deciduous and evergreen forests, across meadows, around 2 ponds, and along a wetland containing a vernal pool. The visitor center is a brick Georgian-style mansion with a beautiful formal garden which is often used for weddings. There are frequent public nature programs for all age groups , as well as monthly art exhibits.
