Visited broadmoor for the first time two weeks ago and couldn't wait to plan my next visit. Beautiful trails over water, through woods and through meadows. Waterfalls, streams. What more do you need?

Lovely place to go for walks, Trails are well marked and maintained. I have found Broadmoor to be just the place to go to de-stress myself while enjoying the peace and harmony of nature.

For quiet strolls, this is an awesome place to visit. There are trails for a bit more of a hike if that is what you want, which is what we do typically. The setting is beautiful and it is fabulous that places like this exist so close to the citified Natick shopping area. Lots of bird watching, and lots to... More

I brought my cub scout den here for one of their badge requirements. The person that runs the programs is excellent. They covered everything that we needed in a fun and professional way.

One of the best places in metrowest to get outdoors. Extensive network of trails makes it easy to get away from the crowds. Well maintained with boardwalks around some of the ponds/rivers where you can always spot turtles, frogs, swans, and more. Our kids absolutely love going there!

Very large, but not maintained at the level it should be. And some parts of the sanctuary are off limits to humans -- why? Still, the location (near Sherborn) is marvelous. Unfortunately not at all friendly to equestrians.

I like Broadmoor's mission, but the admission required to enter is stupid.They say it is free for Natick residents, but that does not inclide weekends!There are plenty of free reservations in the area with just as nuch to see as here.

Just a zen-like garden in the burbs. Simply beautiful. Great for nature and bird watching. Take your time to smell the "roses"

Broadmoor has been one of my favorite places to walk for many years. The staff is always friendly, helpful and goes the extra mile to make it a great experience. There are several beautiful hiking trails that go through woods, fields, and wetlands. The trails along Indian Brook and the Charles River are especially nice. Wildlife can be found during... More
