Established in 1990, it s located in the headwater region of the Blackstone River Watershed. It boasts to be the largest urban wildlife sanctuary in New England. You can do bird watching, bird photography, picnic, kids play , trails. There are wooden benches to sit and relax on the way. In the nature play area, the wooden swing is placed right at the location that gives you a feel as if you are in your private garden. On the Saturday afternoon of May, it had good number of visitors but the calmness prevailed. Parking is limited but seems to be sufficient.

Went here this past Monday and loved it. Well I loved what I saw which was a all percentage of the whole area. Spent a load of time at the frog pond trying to get some decent photos. The frogs were all around and didn't mind being photographed. Probably saw like 7 or so. Unfortunately that's all I saw that I couldn't see in my backyard(besides some mushrooms) but that's because we only stayed a couple hours as we wanted to go get a bite to eat. That means there is much more to explore for me and I look forward to going back soon to explore the other areas left unexplored which is probably like 70 percent of the place. Deff reccomend this place as it's so peaceful within the city. It's like an alternative universe. Look forward to returning!

This is a great place for hiking or nature walks right in the middle of the city. There are several miles of trails which are beautifully maintained and nicely marked.

The sanctuary property is open for use dawn to dusk. The visitor center has hours which I don't know but which should be on their website or Facebook page.

May we visit with our dog, black lab, on leash?

Hello I’m in the tatnuck area in Worcester. I’ve noticed a lot of gypsy moths . One tree must have 1000 or more sack of eggs on it. Can we kill these?? Marsha Mendys

Don't bother. Some years we have a bumper-crop of gypsy moths. Their lifespan is about 2 weeks. You're much more likely to harm your plants and the "good" bugs with chemical intervention.
