Come winter one can find cross-country skiers and Snow-shoe trails. One should take caution in the park though, as sightings of wildlife including coyotes and large deer are not unheard of. Because of the large deer and other wildlife population, pets should stay on trails and avoid other animals fecal matter because of parasites, notably mange. Hikers should also come with insect repellent in the summer, as deer flies, ticks, and mosquitoes are common. Garter Snakes can also be seen basking on the hot dirt paths in spring and summer. Hikers are advised to be respectful to the tranquility of the park and it's wildlife, as well as to stay on the marked trails and clean up after themselves.

Some trails are closed for regrowth, safe detours are always provided. It is suggested that new visitors to the park obtain one of the free maps in the parking area. Visitors should also be aware of the time of day they are entering as the thick woods become dark long before sunset. All motorized vehicles are prohibited.

The Edgell Memorial Library, built to commemorate the valor of Civil War soldiers, was the town of Framingham’s first free-standing public library and remains a testament to the spirit of civic engagement and public service which built it. The Library is a cultural pillar of the community, which rallied to build it in 1872 and once again to save it from demolition in 1963. The Edgell Memorial Library was awarded a Partners in Preservation grant of $100,000 that will go toward restoring the Library’s windows and to install much needed storm windows.
What is the historical significance of this site?
The Edgell Memorial Library, one of the few remaining Victorian Gothic buildings in the area, anchors the Centre Common in Framingham. A monument to Civil War Soldiers, built in 1872 by local people using local materials, it is a testament to the determination of the community. When demolition was threatened in 1963 by the building of a new library, concerned citizens and the Framingham Historical Society rallied to save their beloved Library.
What is the current and proposed use of the site?
The Edgell Memorial Library is currently used as a cultural community center by the Framingham History Center with monthly programming, local exhibits, a museum shop, storage and office space. The entire building is undergoing restoration which is planned to be finished by April 2011. This project will return one of Framingham’s most important historic and cultural landmarks to its original splendor, drawing families and residents to the center of Framingham and its history.
