As you wander the quiet, idyllic trails around Gammino Pond, its hard to imagine that a little more than fifty years ago it was a bustling sand and gravel quarry operation. The pond itself a remnant of that industrial legacy. Today, graveled roads are replaced with meandering trails and the once barren pond edge is dense with trees, shrubs and plants.

In partnership with state, Seekonk acquired the 59-acre property in 1988 through a self-help grant. The property was set aside for wildlife habitat preservation, water supply protection, and passive recreational purposes.

As one of the first conservation areas in town, it was several years before a formal network of trails was established. Now, residents and visitors can hike, jog, or bike along well-marked, maintained trails with access from the Newman Ave staging area, the Seekonk Meadows, or one of the neighborhood trailheads. The pond is also a great spot to enjoy some solitude while fishing, kayaking, or canoeing.
