Goldthwait Reservation
Goldthwait Reservation maintains a beautiful park area—a grassy open space with a fire pit, stone seating, native coastal plants, and a perfect setting to hold events and gatherings. Over the past years, attempts have been made to increase the number of coastal native plants, such as beach plum, serviceberry, and highbush blueberry. Non-natives, such as rugosa rose, are still maintained here, but are kept in check. The area is maintained with minimal to no use of fertilizers that have the potential to increase excess nutrients to the salt marsh, as well as little use of irrigation water for the grass. The intent is to keep the park area in a natural coastal landscape condition, while allowing for comfortable access and gatherings. See Policies and Permits for information about holding an event at Goldthwait Reservation.
