Residents may use the marked trail system or hike through the rugged terrain
of the park. The park was originally part of the Berol Estate and was purchased
by the town in 1964 and designated as passive parkland. The park entrance and
parking area is on the left hand side of Whippoorwill Road 1 mile south of the
Route 117 (Bedford Rd) intersection. This park and
Glazier Arboretum are the best town lands for
wildlife observation including birding. Local
