Ten free things to love in Woburn - here's one birdwatching

By Megg Crook.

The summer, while wonderful, can seem long, especially if you have young kids home from school. Going to the zoo can get old and costly, so how about doing something free? And there are plenty of things to do in Woburn, you don’t even have to leave the city.

Why not pack a picnic lunch, and eat it on the grass anywhere along the pond. How about bird watching? Check out the WREN Web site (www.gowren.org) for tips and suggestions, then bring a pair of binoculars and see what you can find. Or, bring a Frisbee or soccer ball to throw or kick around. Take a few friends and start up a game. There are plenty of open areas around the pond for any type of activity.
