Description

The parking area offers a picnic bench and seasonally a Little Free Library.  The park is entered via a handicapped-accessible bridge and level crushed gravel trail running 450 feet along the Skinner Brook to an overlook and another picnic bench. Interpretive signs along the way briefly explain various features of interest, with more extensive information accessible via a smartphone using the respective QR codes. 

Other Information

The park was a gift to Grantham in 1984 of Emil and Tony Hanslin. The Grantham Conservation Commission purchased adjacent land in 2015 that increased the total area of the park to 20 acres.
