Beautiful city park
The small lake is beautiful, with a walking trail all around it. We met a member of the citizens group that supports the park, and she told us the fascinating history. We also walked into the woods in one of the marked trails and saw beautiful rock formations and a narrow creek flowing between the rocks. Children and seniors were feeding the ducks and Canada geese. There was a rock band playing by the stone house. Much of the park was built by the WPA during the Depression. A delilghtful find!

Peaceful Park
Love this park! Over 200 acres with hiking trails and winding roads that lead to a lovely pond with a bandstand extending into the pond. This place is a peaceful oasis about 1 mile from downtown Fitchburg. It is quite hilly in spots, but offers many different trails to hike. The roads are also walkable and two of the roads are no longer in use, so offer a great opportunity for a quiet hike (I even saw a deer once, on one of these roads!) There is also a playground for the little ones. Weekends are more popular than weekdays, but anytime you go will be a lovely visit. Park opens at 7:45 a.m. and closes before it gets dark.

Nice Summer Park
went to Coggshall Park the other day, haven't been there in YEARS. Very neat and clean and still beautiful as ever. Few people sitting and walking around. Ducks are well taken care of and I can see they don't miss a treat. Saw a few couples and families hiking and others eating a picnic meal. I am so happy that the Park is still here. Let's all keep it clean.
