In 2012, park staff and volunteers planted 42 species of native grasses and wildflowers here to create a habitat that now supports over 40 kinds of bees and 25 types of butterflies.

There are opportunities year-round to hike and enjoy the outdoors, picnic and participate in ranger programs or walks.

Most of the activities in the park during the summer are centered around performances at the Filene Center and Theatre-in-the-Woods.
