Abington, Massachusetts 02351
Griffin Dairy Farm (North and South Rivers Watershed Association) webpagePurchased by the town of Abington in 1998 for open space and recreation, this property was renovated for public use in 2017, adding a picnic area, an athletic field, and a walking trail. The property is essentially a wide-open meadow with some wetland areas. The trees that surround the meadow include maple, beech, and oak. There are also some grapevines and some nesting boxes. An intermittent stream cuts across the meadow at the center of the property. Footbridges allow for trail crossings. The streams and wetlands here drain to the Shumatuscacant River.
The property features a flat gravel loop trail of about a half mile, with a few spurs that lead to parking areas on Plymouth Street and Pattison Street, and also to Charles Street, and into the woods. Some of the spurs are mowed grass instead of gravel.
You can easily access the Rockland Rail Trail from here. As you exit the property at the Pattison Street lot, turn right on Pattison, and then turn left on Charles Street. The Rail Trail crosses Charles a little bit farther up the road.
