Hubbard Park, Public park in Montpelier, Vermont, US
Hubbard Park is a forested recreational area on the edge of downtown Montpelier, Vermont, with walking trails, open meadows, and wooded hillsides. The trails wind through a mix of dense tree cover and open clearings, offering a range of terrain within a short walk from the city center.
The park was founded in 1899 when John E. Hubbard donated land to the city of Montpelier for public use. It grew over the following decades through additional land gifts from other donors.
The park is a gathering spot where Montpelier residents walk, picnic, and spend time outdoors throughout the year. On warm days, the meadows and shaded paths fill with people of all ages enjoying the open space.
The park can be entered from several points, with parking near Winter Street and Spring Street. It is easy to reach on foot from the center of Montpelier, making it a convenient stop at any time of day.
An observation tower at the park's highest point offers a clear view of the Vermont State House and the hills beyond the city. The tower was added after the original donation and was not part of the land gift that created the park.
