Bradley Palmer State Park, Public state park in Essex County, United States
Bradley Palmer State Park extends across 721 acres of pine forests, meadows, and trails along the Ipswich River in Massachusetts.
The land became a Massachusetts state park in 1944 after Bradley Palmer, a prominent attorney, donated his extensive estate to the Commonwealth.
The Willowdale Estate within the park functions as a cultural center, hosting community events and educational programs about local nature and history.
Visitors can access the park through two main entrances: Asbury Street in Topsfield for large vehicles and trailers, or Highland Street in Hamilton for cars.
The park features a seasonal wading pool that operates during July and August, offering families a refreshing option during summer months.
