Conant Park

Overview

This park consists of two distinctly different wildlife and vegetation habitats. The section near White Street is primarily a mature red and white pine grove and the section near the school playing fields is a swamp. Steep wooded slopes occur on one side of the pine grove. The Trust has planted additional trees and shrubs including larch, azaleas, sweetgum, yellow wood, silverbell, red bud, and a tulip tree.

The elevated level of road noise from nearby I-495 may disturb the tranquility of the area.

Trails

Well-developed, includes a boardwalk through the swamp.


Directions

Off White Street. In the center of a busy and somewhat congested area of town. It is bounded by Littleton Lumber Company, Pine Tree Park, residences and the Middle School playing fields.
