of all the parks in Buxton. The Park contains approximately sixty-five acres of land that border on the Saco River.
This Park provides canoe and kayaking access, swimming, hiking (with dogs on a leash) and picnicking.
Town Farm Park
Town Farm Park, located along Town Farm Road is approximately ten acres in size. There are two softball fields and
one Little League diamond. The groomed grass fields are utilized for all sorts of general recreation for all ages. There
are trails for walking the woodlands as well as a perimeter walking trail that was completed in 2012. The Recreation
Department utilizes the open park areas for its extensive youth soccer program in the late summer and autumn.
In 2014 the Park Trustees pretty much maintained a ‘status quo’ at the Park. No new projects were taken on. In
2015 the Trustees are focusing their efforts to get the softball field dugouts repaired. The structural members of
the roofs were determined to be unsafe. Years and “Mother Nature” have taken their toll and the structures will be
re-built prior to the upcoming softball season. The project will be championed by the Buxton ASA Girls Softball
Association. Thanks to all for your support and patience. Safety is our greatest concern.
The park is available to the public sunrise to sunset and is maintained by the Trustees. Nomotor vehicles are allowed
outside the parking areas. Dogs are welcome……..please pick up after your dog. The entire area is closed to firearms
of any kind, for everyone’s safety.

basketball court, handicapped porta potty and limited parking.
The Little League maintains its own field and the Park Trustees hire maintenance for the remainder of the Park. The
