A lovely area for a walk and a hike! Very peaceful with a lot of interesting native plants. They had areas where they were taking measures to remove the highly invasive Japanese Knotweed. Having this stuff on my property in Gales Ferry I know how difficult it can be to eradicate from an area.On the side with the large pond (same side as the parking lot) I found Autumn Olive bushes, a native plant in the Silverberry family. These berries are edible and are a cloudy red with silver or brown speckles. On the other side of the area (across MacDonald road) theres wild Northern Bayberry, and Sweet fern (a type of Bayberry).
It was very peaceful, and beautiful. It includes some gardens, many fields, a couple of ponds, and some trails in the woods. Very easy walks, and a great place to take the kids.
My 3 year old son and I love the multiple well marked trails in the woods. Great way to spend some time in the outdoors.
Absolute bliss can be found here. Every sight, every sound every sweet scent of wildflower on a gentle breeze is enchanting and transformative. Just...sit and be.
Nice easy hiking! Open area in front to explore and 2 ponds. Nice to visit all seasons.
Fantastic park off the beaten path. Beautiful and well-maintained town park.
Great time. Couldnt believe the intoxicating smell of the wild flowers...
Wonderful place to walk and picnic. Great birdwatching from fields to woods. Butterfly garden is wonderful and the story walk through the fields
I love this place its smaller so you cant get to lost, has Pokemon go stuff, and a nice pond for fishing, field to run dogs, and woods to adventure even if it a half say trip this place is worth the visit
Good park for walks
Nice outdoors spot
