My favorite part is the paved half mile loop, great for kids riding bikes so you can keep an eye on them. Some of the picnic tables could use some refurbishment, but otherwise, a great place to spend the day for people of all ages.

I do not think it gets much better than this considering that you only have to go about 40 minutes out of the city. I saw a river otter within 10 minutes of parking my car and getting out! I believe most of this forest is along Harold Parker road and there is small dirt lots you can park on along this road.

QUICK SUMMARY: Excellent State Park with partially-paved bike trails, beautiful sights especially…read morein the Fall, and a great place to take portraits! The park is open from sun up to sun down. Parking is by a self-pay meter and is $5, entry to park itself is free. My boyfriend and I came here on a whim one crisp Saturday morning in September. We brought our mountain bikes and spent about two hours leisurely exploring the trails, which are paved only half of the time, but still well-maintained. There are many lush sights to see, both with colored/green trees and the Ipswich river (along the path) was a pretty sight as well, with turtles/ducks swimming nearby. We saw only a few people while on the trails, mainly people on bikes, but we did see some walkers as well. If you decide to walk, I would definitely suggest grabbing a trail map at the beginning of the trail, as there are many different routes along the way and it can get confusing without one. There is a giant treeless field at the center of the park which made for a great landscape for my boyfriend and me to take pictures using our tripod/camera. Overall, I would highly recommend this park for all ages/types of people!

Nice splash park for younger children, in a pretty setting. Nice changing rooms…read more We only stopped at the splash park, but as we drove through it looked like there were nice trails for walking. Google maps directed us the wrong way, to the southern entrance, which is now an exit only! We had to drive 10 minutes round to get to Northern entrance.

Terrible experience, My mother brought her service dog on the 4th of July. The rude and…read moreinconsiderate kid at the entrance asked what kind of service the dog did. When I told him it was my mother's emotional support animal he said, they're not allowed. I have taken this same dog to this park at least twice and it was never an issue. She has a special collar and identification, we even have a doctor's note. I don't get the fuss and bog deal... In my mother's case, she has PTSD, it's crucial for us to have the dog at all times. If you're an animal lover and cannot leave the house without your service animal, do not waste your time and/ or your $25. This parking fee of what people pay to park at amusement parks lol Never again.

Previously part of the Tyngsborough Country Club, it opened as a park in 2025. It is a nice place…read moreto walk, play pickleball, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard and bocce. Most of these can be reserved, but they are typically open and available for just showing up. There is a paved walking/jogging path that runs the perimeter of the park, which in nice weather is available. During the winter the path was not cleared. There are events in the clubhouse (usually crafts, for a fee) and they offered summer series concerts outdoors in the summer last year. There is a covered area with a few tables where I have seen folks with balloons having showers and birthday parties. There is also frisbee golf, but last year, no tick treatment, so be prepared with repellent, etc. There are doggie receptacles, but more often than not, no bags, so best to bring a supply with you. The path is nice, but narrow. If someone is pushing a stroller, it is challenging to pass if you are walking/jogging. The Clubhouse is nice, open during certain hours, and where they house the craft events and other gatherings. Even when not open, there are 4 rocking chairs on the outside porch which are available all the time. There is a little putting green, on the river side, but I've never seen anyone using it. The short path to the green is not maintained, walking through a little bit of grass/weeds is required to access. Plenty of parking, both paved and gravel. Outdoor port a potty available. Closes at dusk.

This is a great little park if you are in the neighborhood. It is probably a quarter or a third a…read moremile round. It has a couple benches and plenty of grass to sit on. It is very very quiet and almost never has more than a w visitors. There are a couple fountains and little areas where you can sit and relax.

From downtown it is about a 5-10 minute walk, (in the direction of Plum Island).
