Stone Park

Stone Park is a public park located in the center of Ashland, Massachusetts.

The park contains a play ground called the "Kidspot," a basketball court, a soccer field, and two little league fields.[1] The park hosts local soccer, baseball, and softball leagues and is the site of a community garden started in 2009.[2] In the summer there are free concerts held every Sunday at the gazebo and once a year Ashland Day is held there.[3]

Over the years the Ashland Day Committee has raised money for improvements in the park including the gazebo and a community building. The park has public bathrooms and a Snack Shack that the committee's volunteers help to maintain.[4]

In 2022, Grace Soonjoo Moon founded the Stone Park Music Festival "with the intention of sharing the joy and benefits of classical music to the community."[5]
