VEASEY MEMORIAL PARK
Scenic Park in Boston's North Shore
A Town of Groveland conservation property managed by the Conservation Commission
About Veasey Park
Veasey Memorial Park is about 48-acres of conservation land managed by the Town of Groveland's Conservation Commission. The historic buildings, with original features recalling days past, and the extensive grounds are family friendly and available for events. The park offers free parking and seasonal portable washroom units.
Enjoy the nature preserve's recreation areas, forest, fields, and trail system -- home to many wonderful animals, plants, insects, and birds.
Car-top boat access to Johnson's Pond, a Great Pond, is available for year-round fun and relaxation.
Veasey Park has multiple picnic areas, a popular winter sledding hill, and excellent birding opportunities in the fields, woods, and along the freshwater shoreline.
A short video from Forged Muse captures a gentle walk through Veasey’s forest trails at dusk, reflecting the park's quiet rhythm at the end of day.
