Hager Park Commission

Hager Park is located on Hager Park Road (Route 140) just south of the intersection with Route 2A and the Route 2 East on-ramp.  The park consists of approximately 63 acres on the east side of the road, which abuts Woodside Cemetery and surrounds the Water Treatment facility.  There are another 18 acres located on the opposite side of Route 140.  Most of this land was part of a larger tract originally willed to the town by Joseph Hager after his death in 1915. Additionally, the Commission administers the Smith Reservoir and Raymond properties, which are located further to the south and on Worcester Road and Andrea Lane.  These lots contain another 87 acres. The Commission also manages the Wachusett Rambler Recreation Area, which contains about 9 acres around a hilltop field adjacent to the main portion of Hager Park. This area has nice views with a small pavilion and picnic table.

The Commission maintains a network of hiking and riding trails within the Hager Park and Rambler parcels.  These trails are open to the public and we are happy to see them used.  Many of the trail corners are marked with white metal signs or diamond-shaped plastic markers. More trails are planned for the Raymond property.

The Commission typically holds meetings in either of the meeting rooms on the first floor of the Town Hall on the 2^nd Thursday of each odd-numbered month.  (Please check the town website to confirm the date and time before trying to attend.)
