Scenes From Harold Parker State Park

One of the things that I miss most about living in Beacon Hill are my long walks along the Charles River.  I loved that this beautiful walking route was there whenever I wanted to get some fresh air, clear my head, or just enjoy our beautiful city.  Overall, living in Andover has been a pretty seamless adjustment.  We love our new place and all of the space we never had before.  I love my nonexistent commute to and from work.  I love the quiet and the privacy.  But walking along the Charles River is still something that I miss dearly.

This past weekend, Bret and I took a short drive to Harold Parker State Park which spans over four towns, including Andover.  There are a lot of hiking, biking and walking trails.  We took a nice walk through the woods, along ponds, streams and grassy fields. 

Here are some photos that Bret took along our walk:







While it can't completely replace my walks along the Charles, I was happy that we discovered this beautiful alternative.


Harold Parker State Park Headquarters is located at 305 Middleton Road, North Andover, MA.
