Morse Pond, a 17-acre pond between Dillingham Avenue and Jones Road, is surrounded by town land. The Morse Pond School, on 20.9 acres, links to 12.5 acres of conservation land. Six acres along Dillingham Avenue were purchased from the Newton family in the first omnibus open space package brought to the Town Meeting by The 300 Committee in 1986. The other parcels, including pondfront land behind Amvets Avenue and former bog land on the northeast side of the pond, were acquired earlier. The John DeMello Senior Center sits on the east shore of the pond; the new Senior Center in 2019 is under construction just across the road adjacent to the Gus Canty Recreation Center.
