Choate Park is located in Medway, MA
In the 1700's the land that is Choate Park today belonged to Major Timothy Whiting, a member of one of Medway’s earliest families. When a dwelling house first appeared around 1820, at the junction of Oak and Mechanic Streets, where the Thayer Home place now stands, the lot and house belonged to Timothy Mann. Many of the deeds of West Medway of that period reference the T. Mann dwelling house “on an ancient road”. The house was surrounded by woodland, pasture, and a small waterway to the east, Chicken Brook, that ran north-south under the Hartford Dedham Turnpike (Rt 109), to empty into the Charles River further south.
Choate Park, the Stone Mill, the Thayer Home place, with the homes that remain from that era, are important representatives of Medway in the 1850s.
There are numerous walking trails, playgrounds, and fields in the park as well as a lovely pond.
This is a standard size cache with kid friendly items. Nice woods walk on existing trail.
To get to Choate Park turn off Main Street (Rt. 109) onto Mechanic Street, then right onto Oak street. Oak street ends at the Choate Pond parking lot.
