Features

Chestnut Lodge Park, a 6.39-acre green space, sits on the former site of Chestnut Lodge (once known as the Woodlawn Hotel), which was best known for its history as a psychiatric institution. Today, the park offers a unique mix of history and nature, with informational signs throughout that tell the story of the site’s intriguing past. Visitors can stroll along paved paths, relax on benches, or enjoy the beautifully landscaped areas. Plus, dogs are welcome on a leash, so feel free to bring your furry friend along for a walk through history.
