Summer in Concord is a wonderful time for residents and visitors to play. Paddling and swimming on our rivers, ponds, and lakes, along with walking or biking the area trails are just a few of our inviting activities. Summer also brings the sights and sounds of our natural world, such as the animal life and colorful flowers.

The swamp rose-mallow is a beautiful plant found in Great Meadows at the northern side of the lower compound and well worth seeking out in late summer.

Hummingbirds are a delight to see and hear. The bright colors they are drawn to add an extra dimension.
