  • Der Jamaica Pond ist ein Toteissee und Teil des Emerald-Necklace-Parksystems in Boston im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Er befindet sich im Stadtteil Jamaica Plain in der Nähe der Grenze zu Brookline. Im Jamaica Pond entspringt der Muddy River, der später in den Charles River mündet. Früher diente der See als Trinkwasserreservoir für die Städte Boston und Roxbury und lieferte im Winter Eis an Boston und andere nahe gelegene Städte. Nach Angaben des USGS ist der Name Jamaica abgeleitet aus einem indianischen Wort, das „Reichtum an Bibern“ bedeutet. (de)
