It is the Island's second largest area of undeveloped property. Recent additions to the Gazzam Lake Preserve include Open Space purchases of the 49 acre Peter's and the 64 acre Close properties, and a the generous donation of and 8-acre parcel by David and Joyce Veterane.
Gazzam Lake, in the northwest part of the park, is a 13-acre freshwater wetland area that has remained substantially untouched by human development, thus providing scenic beauty and wildlife habitat for a variety of species.
