Detailed Trail Info, History, and Photos from Newton Conservators
The City of Newton acquired Hunnewell Woods in 1969. Located in Newton Corner near the border with Brighton, this 1.62-acre area is accessible through Hunnewell Park (visit the Parks, Recreation and Culture page for Hunnewell Park here), at the north end of Grassmere Street, off of Hunnewell Avenue, and parking is available at the New Balance parking lot at the west end of Newton Street in Brighton, or on Newton Street, itself. Located on a wooded hillside, local residents report occasional sightings of coyotes, as well as raccoons and a variety of birds.
