Needham Town Forest

Highlight • Forest

This is a beautiful pocket of woodland featuring a network of well-maintained walking trails and pond.

The woods also host a miniature railway constructed by a local park visitor. If you visit when the creator Jim Metcalf is around, he's likely to unlock the railway and give it a spin while answering any questions you may have.
