A description of the park from Boston Globe: A stunning stone mansion, the Willowdale Estate, is a major attention-grabber here, but this 721-acre North Shore park has much to recommend it — including an accessible 1.3-mile trail (also labeled the Healthy Heart trail). Fringed with hemlock and American beech trees, the path runs parallel to the Ipswich River, offering occasional views of the waterway. A boardwalk crosses a beaver impoundment, winding through woods and open areas. A turnoff just beyond the footbridge leads to an open space along the river. The trail ends at a footbridge across the river, leading to Ipswich Road. This wheelchair-accessible, out-and-back path is mostly flat and gentle, with a 29-foot elevation. Take a moment to admire the exquisite Craftsman and Tudor Revival estate (circa 1902) built for lawyer and equestrian Bradley Palmer

The partk is at 40 Asbury St, Topsfield, MA 01983.
