Ames Nowell State Park in Abington is delightful little park a centered around Cleveland Pond. The park includes a picnic area, ball field and several miles of trails along the pond edge and through the surrounding woods.
It’s a great spot in Abington and a good spot for inclusion on the 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts.
It would be a nice place for hiking except that we often hear gunshots, presumably from hunters. We live right near the entrance and we don’t often hike there for that reason. The shooting usually seems to come from the northern part of the part, near Chestnut St. and Cushing Pond.
