Hubbard Park

Hubbard Park is a large recreational area near downtown Montpelier with walking paths, forested sections, and open meadows spread throughout. The grounds offer different routes through various landscape types, from densely wooded areas to cleared open spaces.

The park began in 1899 when John E. Hubbard donated land to create a public recreational space. Over the following years it expanded through additional land gifts and became an important part of the Montpelier community.

The park serves as a gathering place where people spend time outdoors, exercise, and connect with neighbors. You will see residents walking, picnicking, and relaxing beneath the trees, especially on warm days.

You can enter the park through several gates, with parking available at Winter Street and Spring Street. Easy access from downtown makes it a convenient spot for day visits.

From the park's highest point, an observation tower provides views of the Vermont State House, downtown, and distant mountains. This elevated vantage point shows how the city sits within the surrounding landscape.
