Finally reaching the end of the Children's Wood on the western side of the reservoir, I see people along the shore doing some fishing. The smiles on their faces show that they are enjoying the park as much as I am. Thank you for your contribution Mr. Wheelock. The Monadnock Region is certainly reaping the benefits of your vision. Turn left on Reservoir Street.
Parking is in the lot near the pond and the swimming pool.
