Located off Washington and South Streets, the Walpole Town Forest, 365 acres, is owned by the town of Walpole and is used for passive recreation and forestry production.

The Town Forest was dedicated in 1916 during the Arbor Day celebrations. The highlight of this day in Walpole was the turnout of nearly 2,000 townspeople and the first planting of the new forest by hundreds of children.

The first tree was planted by a future president of the United States, then Lt. Gov. Calvin Coolidge. The initial land area was donated by George A. Plimpton and the Town Forest was established through the efforts of the park board and its chairman, Charles S. Bird.

The Town Forest was the third town forest to be established in the Commonwealth and the first by a small town.
