The Watertown-Cambridge Greenway is a 12-foot-wide, paved, multi-use path in Massachusetts that is popular with pedestrians, cyclists, and runners. The Greenway was repurposed from the former Boston & Maine Railroad's Watertown Branch and spans approximately 2 miles. It connects School Street in Watertown to the Fresh Pond area in Cambridge, linking the Charles River path system with the Minuteman Bikeway. Parking is available at Arsenal Park in Watertown; however, parking at Fresh Pond Reservation is restricted to Cambridge residents with permits.
