About the place

Ward Reservation spans about 700 acres across Andover and North Andover. On top of Holt Hill, the Solstice Stones radiate from a center stone to mark the sun at the solstices and equinoxes, and on a clear day, you can see the Boston skyline. A boardwalk crosses Pine Hole Bog below.
