The park entrance is off Keyes Hill Rd.
about 1/4 mile west of Mammoth Rd. Look for the wooden sign on
the left if coming from Mammoth Rd.
Elmer G. Raymond was a Pelham serviceman who was killed in a
training accident during World War II. The start of the park
was a large piece of land given up for non-payment of taxes
many years ago. Since then various parcels have been
acquired, many by donation, such that the park is the
largest single publicly owned parcel of land in town.
Enter the park just at the entrance sign and park in the
paved parking lot. This lot is maintained in winter.
Immediately adjacent to the parking lot is a building used
by various youth groups. The building is not open to the
public.
The open grassy area abutting the parking area is used for
soccer during the season. The park has many trails and lends
itself to on or off trail walking, hiking, cross-country
skiing, and the like. The ground varies from relatively flat
to fairly steep so there is terrain for everyone. Hunting is
prohibited. |
