COGGSHALL PARK
With over 200 acres of land, Coggshall Park offers something for every season. Spring brings mountain laurel blooms and the return of the swans, while the the breeze from the lake and the shade of the large pines are ideal for cooling off in the summer. Beautiful foliage brings out the photographers in autumn, and winter provides the opportunity for skating on Mirror Lake and cross-country skiing or snowshoeing on the array of trails.
Coggshall Park features two great facilities available for weddings, baby showers, birthdays and more. Check out how to rent the Stone House and Mirror Lake Gazebo
