Mary Cummings Park

Photo Walk An over two hundred acre public park which was given in trust to the City of Boston by Mary Cummings for the purpose of keeping the land forever open as a public pleasure ground. This land offers fields, forests, trails, wetlands, and a variety of wildlife habitats for public enjoyment.

Some activities include day hikes, light backpacking, nature walks, snowshoeing, cross country skiing or trail running on miles of trails, volunteer work to keep the trails clean and clear, scouting, geocaching, picnics and picnicking, nature photography, RC model airplane flying through the Burlington RC Flyers club, kite flying at Central or Babylon Hill Fields, and birding and bird watching in various habitat areas.

And hopefully someday soon, there will be a return of the day camp and garden programs that provided Summer enjoyment for hundreds of kids every year.

And thanks to efforts by the city and people of Woburn the adjacent 75 acres of Whispering Hill along with another 25 acres of contiguous conservation areas are also preserved for the public in perpetuity for conservation and recreation.

Please help us build on this success! Friends of Mary Cummings Park Inc is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
