The wooded, 5-acre Shurtleff Park in Carver features war memorials, picnic tables, and a shade pavilion. It is located across the street from the Carver Town Hall.

Features

Shurtleff Park was donated to the town in 1908 by Dr. Benjamin Shurtleff, who was born in Carver and became a California pioneer.

This land is within the region of the Pokanoket Wampanoag tribe. To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The Mashpee Wampanoag and the Herring Pond Wampanoag share information on their websites.

Habitats and Wildlife

This wooded property, featuring mostly white pine trees, is situated within the watershed of South Meadow Brook. The brook flows south through Carver and joins with Rocky Meadow Brook in South Carver to form the Weweantic River. The Weweantic River flows for 17 miles through Carver, Middleborough and Rochester, and drains into Buzzards Bay in Wareham.
