Dog walkers in Sheepfold Meadow, Middlesex Fells Reservation
We are building on the former American Legion site at 368 Pleasant Street in Malden. Bloomberg Businessweek named Malden “Best Place to Raise Your Kids” in Massachusetts in 2009.
The site is 750 feet from the Malden Center MBTA stop, 20 minutes to downtown Boston. It is a short walk to groceries, public and charter schools, restaurants, and public parks. It is 1 mile from the Middlesex Fells, a 2,200 acre state park.
