Not to be confused with Great Meadows in Concord, this East Lexington area is owned by Arlington. Take the public path at the end of Sheila. Good spot for Woodcock, and all sorts of field and marsh birds in the breeding season. Access to the Great Meadows is also available on several locations off Massachusetts Avenue. The town of Arlington has a map of this location on-line.
Woodcocks display here in the spring.
Explore the pine woods for owls. Explore the paths for songbirds. Great spot to look for raptors. The exit does a 180 turn, and when you come to Spring Street, you turn right to cross over Route 2. Take your first right on Hayden, and drive to the end, and turn left on Waltham Street.
