Hubbard Park

Beautiful place to re charge, take a picnic when you go. Tables and a gazebo, dog friendly, easy walking. Great views from the top of the tower.

Magical winter wonderland in Montpelier, VT. Be sure to stop by if you ever visit Vermont. We were in awe at all the beauty of this fabulous forest covered in snow. Definitely recommend a visit to this place.

For years Hubbard Park has been a wonderful place of peace and refuge. Walking by myself or with my children, climbing the tower to take in the view or snowshoeing in the winter it is always a go to place.

Great place to hike with your furry friend. Dogs are allowed off leash here.

Some towns have a small park to play in, for for sure Montpelier has several of those but it also has Hubbard Park. Because it is annexed to the town which is small to begin with, it is a central attraction for those living in Montpelier and the surround areas. At the center of the park is a tower that allows you to see amazing vistas of the surrounding mountains. Every season is different. There are picnic tables and facilities for grilling. There is road access but many people from the town just hike up. To get to the tower you have to park then hike, about 10 minutes is you are capable. I have trouble walking and use a cane and I made it in about 20 minutes. The air in Hubbard Park is so clean and refreshing. The trails are wide and cleared. It is an amazing place. Take your camera as there are many photo opportunities.

Got married at this beautiful local park. We go here often to enjoy the trails year round, which are VERY well maintained even in the winter months. Many different trail options to explore and bike paths as well. Great shelter areas for small get togethers and a good sized hill for sledding when the weather permits. In the summer months we enjoy using the hidden playground behind the soccer field.

Incredible park to do just about anything in. Trails are excellent for running. Keep winding around to get more miles and elevation change.

Very nice park .Dog friendly

Great walking trail that lets you get a trip to nature with a view. Pet and cons friendly but bring lots of bug spray.

Wow! This is Vermonts capital gem park. We were traveling all day and this dog park was a welcome stop.Miles of trails, friendly dog owners, hikers, and bikers!This was a stop well worth it!

Great park. Plenty of space for a game, a walk, or even just a place to get peace and quiet. Some days have more dogs than others. As long as Ive been in town I havent seen any litter in this park.

Beautiful little park right off the main drag of town.

Nice well marked trails with good headers. Some of the maps are a little faded and the trail system is a little confusing.

Short hike from the road but steep hills driving up to the trail. Beautiful views of the mountains and Montpelier!!

Hazel and I love Hubbard Park! Weve been walking here for years. Enjoyed the jack o lantern filled path last week.

Easy drive, kinda confusing but the tower had two trails and one take 10 mins and the other trail takes 3mins. Great view from the tower, also they have a place to sit and eat.

Nice views from the tower. Signage could be better.

Needs better signage for outsiders to find the tower.

Nice walk, nice tower.

Great place, perfect for walking

Great trails, the new signage is excellent, could use a few more trail maps posted. Kids love the tower and views.

Love having a place in Montpelier to get away from the city. I do wish the trails were a little neater - there were trees that the crew had fallen but left laying on the side of the trail - almost in the trail. Seems like it would be best to remove these altogether instead of just pushing them to the side.

Love walking the different trails watch out for the snakes love the wild life and so close to town

Beautiful Park and amazing hike

Beautiful trails lead from downtown to historic towers to deserted forests, there is a trail for every ability level, and friendly knowledgeable locals with their great dogs

Good park and so quite and clean

A local destination for our tree hugging hipsters and visitors from out of town. They have decent trails for biking + walking. The landmark of the park imho would be the stone(d:) tower. It is a short climb on modern metal stairs. This is, from my experience, the best place to view the capital citys Independence Day pyrotechnic. 1 year my wife and I were fortunate enuff 2 view the pyro show right in front of us. In the remaining field of our vision was the most dazzling electrifying, electrical storm I have ever witnessed. We were unsure as to what display we should choose to watch more of. The lightning was stealing all the fireworks thunder;) Bucket List this tower and the pyrotechnix. It will always be in my memory...

Had a great time up until I was about to leave when an extremely rude non-compliant male refused to leash his untrained dogs. They prevented me and my puppy from entering my vehicle and leaving for over 10 minutes due to the lack of respect for others and that Park. His name is David Gray apparently, he drives a newer white Subaru and is a local Montpelier resident with three dogs one with a metal muzzle on it. I love dogs and it is not their fault, the owner should have complete control or if not should have been leashed.

What a terrific system of trails and spaces for kids and pets.

Always makes the dog very happy

A nice walking park for mostly easy walks.

This is a great place for a short hike.

Its a gem. But dont go there because youll ruin the quiet. Also theres a lot of controversy about dogs. I dont like controversy too much and dogs are just ok. Overall a great park.

Awesome place to take your fur baby and to enjoy natures beauty

Hubbard Park is awesome! I love how pet friendly the park is, and my families dog loves it, especially going off leash. The trails are all wonderful any time of year, and the view from the tower is always great.

We enjoyed our hike through this park!

I would love to have this kind of park near me. I could easily spend hours here. We plugged in the Tower not knowing where it was. The suggested route was very steep. Wouldnt do that again. Make sure you plug in the park.

Trees, the smells of fall, cool breeze fresh air. Smells, looks and basically is home.

This worked for a quick place to stop and eat lunch on our way through town.

Many trails, easy parking, well maintained, well traveled (if you want a day alone in the woods, this isnt the place). Nice tower to climb up with views after the leaves are down. Right in downtown Montpelier

A nice mix of trails & clearing@ for an afternoon stroll or family picknick; plus the old stone fire tower is pretty cool

Nice trails. Cool tower.

Great park to spend time with friends and family. Easy trials to walk.

Reachable by foot or car from downtown Montpelier. We had a nice hike along the trails. More signage wouldnt hurt, especially along the paths leading to the tower. Finding parking was easy.

The trail up the hill towards the tower is so peaceful and calm. The incline in the hill is great for a nice workout and climbing the tower is super nice and beautiful

Beautiful park and nice hiking and biking trails

Trails were not maintained and there were no signs as to what trail was what. Went there mainly for the tower and spent an hour walking what seemed like in circles or only to come to a dead end trail and having to back track. Very disappointed.

Heist point in the city also means a steep road to get there - USE EXTREME CAUTION on Cliff St.Beautiful part with lots of trails.

Fun place to hike with kids, dogs. Have shelters to rent and bbq at

Beautiful and spacious park with lots and lots of trails.

The quartz crystal in the central tower is beautiful in the moonlight.Cut down just a few more of the trees around the tower for a better view plz!

Beautiful, peaceful, well kept park.

Great place to go walking with the dogs

Small quite nice winter walk to the tower definitely worth the trip...

Always a favorite hiking spot

Very lovely park! Large enough to hike and get away into nature, but not so large that youll get lost (for long). The tower is nice to visit just for the view, and there are grills for spring, summer, and fall picnics. The trails are great, and going off of the trails affords a chance to have some quiet, alone time

Great place to get out of the city for awhile.

This is a fabulous place to visit!

After a nice 20-minute walk up a well-maintained trail you climb up a fanciful tower with a 360 view at the tree canopy. Forget Monpelier exists. Free and priceless.

A beautiful woodland park within and above the little city of Montpelier. You can take a pleasant hike around the park, walk down one of the roads leading back to town and have yourself a nice meal or a cup of coffee. Friendly, beautiful place.

Amazing place for a nature walk hunt mushrooms or just enjoy sights

A beautiful place in the heart of montpelier! The trails are clean and peaceful and there are firepits and grill sites scattered throughout the acreage.

Love the park so much, Im in there all the time. If you dont like dogs, or your dog doesnt like dogs it can be tricky as people have their dogs off leash and are not always in voice control.

Its a great park for hiking and picnics good place for leaf peeking.

I love walking up in Hubbard Park I take the trails for the woods there shaded and cool and then sometimes I walk back on the road meet lots of friendly people wonderful dogs enjoy everybodys company and the silence and Beauty as well.

Really well laid out and interesting public park. This has been a great place to go and walk the dog.

Nice quiet Park. We ate lunch on a picnic table and just enjoy the nature.

Great place for an afternoon wall in the woods!

Always love the park.

Wonderful park. If your dog is,well behaved she/he is welcome off-leash.

Nice trail system. Perfect for walking the dog after work.

My favorite place as a kid

Great place for a morning walk or a planned event.

I love hubbard park! Im bummed that the owner of hubbard park blocked the road to the tower

Simple paths through the woods and neat stone tower. Nice quick jaunt!

Lovely park to walk trails or just sit and enjoy nature in. Dogs are frequently around and everyone is friendly.

One of my favorite places for a walk

Beautiful hike, fairly easy walk, dog friendly and well kept trails

Beautiful park. The floating ghost lights frighten me sometimes but as far as I know they havent done anything... yet. Dont tread off the path past sundown.

Dense canopy hiking. Dog party central

I love taking my dog here because they allow dogs off- leash and have a decent little network of trails that is not overwhelming.

Lots of hiking trails. We had a picnic and enjoyed our visit.

Beautiful trails and our dogs love being off leash.

Lovely place and good hikes.

Great place to go hiking with a very nice view

Good place to burn

Nice hiking trails and a dog park. Conveniently located in Montpelier.

I grew up here and its more beautiful than I remember.

So good, excellent walking, better than anywhere else

Great trails. Awesome tower

Nice view of the mountains

Great place for an easy walk, dog walking etc

Unbelievable. An awesome park right behind the VT state capitol building. Who could have guessed!

Rustic. Great views. Clean and green.

Very neat park full of trails right in Montpelier

So nice to walk the dogs off leash

Trails enough to get lost in the capitol city

I love walking the trails there

Very good trails, lovely woods

Lots of hiking trails
