    Little Library
    Sagar T.

    Beautiful and peaceful public park. It's very close to my apartment in Natick but I can't believe I never went here. I went here recently and saw some really beautiful fall colors! It was around Halloween so they had some activities for kids and the kids were definitely having lot of fun! I also saw a cute mini-library ( www.littlefreelibrary.org ) that allows people to pick a book and return it at the same place all by themselves. Loved the concept! Check the picture of the little library. Parking lot is not TOO big but decent for a normal day. I guess it must be tough to find a spot in summer.

    I LOVE this! Take a book, leave a book. Community library!

    Beautiful, beautiful park. I absolutely love it here. Very clean, well maintained, expertly landscaped- possibly my favorite public park. A great circuit to go on walks, a very nice playground with a lot to do for your little ones. I love the little "library" they have where you can bring a book or take one- such a nice touch and feeling of community. We come here regularly and will always love and support Cushing!

    This park is absolutely beautiful and I think the best I've been to in the metro west area. The path around the park is a perfect mile so it's great for runners who want to get a few measured miles in. Dogs are also welcome and you see a lot walking around. They have the dog waste bags available at little stations around the park too. There is a newly added children's grove that opened in 2016 I think. There are swings, climbing frames and interactive tubular bells that the kids can bash with sticks to make 'music' haha. There is also a really nice chapel on site that I've yet to go in but you occasionally see services taking place there. Other things of interest is the war memorial, 911 memorial, numerous bird houses and an informational section where you can read about the history of the location on big boards. And be sure to visit in Spring or Summer and check out the beautiful blossom trees and well maintained colorful flower beds. You will not find a nicer park!

    There is a "Start" marker located near the chapel and at a 1/2, 1/2, 3/4 points along the outer loop.

    It was as if it was a picture taken from the enchanted garden as you walk directly into the garden…read moreas it was hidden in the woods surrounded by trees and a very nice bog with charming Lilly pads. The price was right and my mom and I really enjoyed it. Nothing but peaceful all around.

    Excellent little jaunt through the flowery woods on crushed gravel trails lined with many varieties…read moreof plants and blossoming flora. Possibly the best prize for labeling as many species as possible. So many gardens do not provide good and legible labels on their plants, trees, bushes, ferns, and flowers. This was joyfully, thoroughly well-labeled. As was the path itself on the loop trail. There is an additional outer trail you could take if you're channeling your inner Thoreau but we stuck with the anti-Frost and took the road more traveled. Stay on the path. Recommendations say you can walk the loop in 30mins. You probably could. But we found plenty to keep us oohing and aahing for 90 mins! Turtles, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, and some fab funghi in the lily pond. Unique and colorful small flowers every which way. The trail has mostly small inclines here and there, but the hike at the end to return to the visitor center is a bit huffy puffy. While there were beautifully carved benches throughout other parts of the loop, there were no benches on this steepest part and there really should be at least one halfway up the hill. Take your time. Wear proper shoes, bring a water bottle. Small parking lot. Bonus gift shop, plant shop, and proper rest rooms.

    Super cute and clean park. There's a great playground with unique structures. One structure is…read moregeared toward younger kids and one towards older kids. There is also a small plans area. Perfect for cooking off on a hot day. The splash area is fenced in with one entrance/exit which is also convenient for parents who want to sitervise. There is also a sanded volleyball net, a basketball court and a large field. There are bathrooms but I didn't use them so can't speak to their cleanliness. One major con is there is no shade and little seating. I would suggest bringing a lawn or beach chair that has its own canopy.

    I love this park! (even though I don't like the outdoors haha)…read more This park is beautiful. They have a huge playground with things for very little kids and big kids to play on. They have a skateboard area. They have basketball courts. There is a baseball field and a couple areas where kids play soccer. The biggest reason I love this place is their walking track and trails. The track is 4 times around for a mile. They have a sign posted to tell you how long the trails are. There are also some paved walkways around the whole park. This park is always kept immaculately clean and is always packed! It is often hard to find parking. The other great thing about this park is that they spray for mosquitoes quite frequently so it is never very buggy here even with all of the woods and some marshy type areas.

    I stopped by to see what this air was all about and it looks like it's a very beautiful trail walk…read morewe could see a lot of wildlife and I ended up seeing a lot of turtles. There is a membership in general admission. Since we were just being nosy, we took a brief walk on the boardwalk to see what it was all about. It is very family oriented and if you love the outdoors, you will love this place.

    One of Mass Audubon's best for kids, in my humble opinion. (we are members)…read more The staff present in the building were very helpful, kind, and informed (in that kind of nature nerd, yet cool kind of way) There are clean bathrooms (they are porter potty toilets, yes. But still clean on the exterior). The pathways have a significant amount of boardwalk all across the sanctuary, which helps with keeping my hyper child away from poison ivy and ticks to some degree. There is a seated area for picnicking. (though no recycle bins. odd..) And best of all.. Lots of crawly, jumpy, flappy, slimy things to distract and de plug your pandemic technology-plugged child for a few hours. To enjoy fresh air. Take in nature's beauty. To learn to sit in the discomfort of possibly being bored when not overstimulated every second. My inattentive child's highlights were: - learning about the semi-toxic slime of a slug - listening to the bullfrogs in rhythm - chasing his buddy down the boardwalk in the last stretch - drinking sweet lemonade and picnicking as reward for all that walking
