Ashland State Park is a 470-acre (1.9 km2), multi-use, Massachusetts state park located in Ashland. The park is managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation and includes the 157-acre (0.64 km2) Ashland Reservoir which was completed in 1895. When the reservoir was taken out of service the property was converted to a state park. The reservoir's dam and spillway are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The park has not been staffed since 2009 due to budget cuts.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or park:
“The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
