Has a great fishing pier, fit about a dozen fishermen, off the southern point. Has a beach and playground, great location for some family fishing.

There is one lake in the town of Wilmington, Ma. which is Silver Lake, a kettle lake formed in the retreat of the Pleistocene glaciers at the end of the last ice age. It is open for swimming during the summer.

Silver Lake is stocked annually with Trout and is located along Rt. 38 in Wilmington, Ma.

Silver Lake is a 640-acre (2.6 km2) lake in Pembroke, Kingston, and Plympton, Massachusetts, south of Route 27 and east of Route 36. The Pembroke/Plympton town line is entirely within the lake, and a portion of the western shoreline of the lake is the town line with Halifax. The lake is the principal water supply for the City of Brockton, whose water treatment plant is on Route 36 in Halifax. The inflow of the pond is Tubbs Meadow Brook, and the pond is the headwaters of the Jones River. Occasionally water is diverted into Silver Lake from Monponsett Pond in Halifax and Furnace Pond in Pembroke (through Tubbs Meadow Brook) whenever there is a water shortage. Access to the pond is through Silver Lake Sanctuary, a 92 acre property where one can walk, hike and fish, which is located at the end of Barses Lane, off Route 27 in Kingston.
