June 23, 2007: The raft is back, and the ladder has been installed. Remember: There are no lifeguards on Foster's Pond. Swim at your own risk. And please observe the Rules of the Raft (scroll down).
The raft in Foster's Pond has been a community tradition for decades. On July 4, 2006, after spending a couple of years ashore in need of repair, it was relaunched.
Refurbishing the raft was a joint project of the Foster's Pond Corporation

and the Foster's Pond Improvement Association. Volunteers Mark Florio, his young son Sager, Dave Adilman and Gerry Fogden rebuilt much of the raft, installing new composite decking, adding structural supports, and attaching a new ladder.
Residents and visitors are welcome to use the raft, but are asked to observe some basic rules:
|
| 1. No alcohol |
| 2. No fishing: Lures and hooks can tangle in the mooring lines, presenting a hazard to swimmers. |
| 3. No amplified music (use headphones) and no loud noise (particularly after dark): Sound travels across the pond, disturbing neighbors and those who seek to enjoy the quiet of nature. |
