*NEW* Caregiver Pass

This year, Medford Recreation along with the Medford Parks Commission, will be introducing a new pass. The pass will be called the Caregiver Pass.


Medford Recreation & the Parks Commission understands that it may become difficult for residents to drive to Wright's Pond for many different reasons. We wanted to offer Residents the security of knowing that a friend or family member would be able to take them to the Pond to enjoy Medford's hidden gem. We will have more information on this pass for you soon.
