Dunn State Park, Public recreation area in Gardner, Massachusetts.
Dunn State Park is a recreation area in Gardner, Massachusetts, featuring woodlands, a pond, and open grounds for outdoor activities. The site includes hiking trails, picnic facilities, boat access, and fishing platforms distributed throughout the property.
Furniture maker John Ainsworth Dunn gave the land to Gardner in 1915, and it eventually passed to state oversight. This donation created a protected public space that has served the community for generations.
