History: The 6 acre parcel is a former gravel pit that was deeded to the town for non-payment of taxes. The gravel pit area has re-vegetated itself over the years. The 10 acre and 1 acre parcels were conveyed to the town by developers at the request of the Planning Board. The Planning Board's suggested purpose for the land was for recreation.

A Sub-Committee of Conservation Commission and neighbors and residents has been established to manage the land.
