There is a butterfly garden designed by Mr. Ken Twombly.


Family Time
Enjoy family time outdoors, hike, exercise, geocache, letterbox, or simply enjoy nature - the Discovery Zone is the perfect destination for all ages and interests.

Hay field
  • Examine quarries, kilns, and Native American toolmaking sites
  • Explore vernal pools and identify mammal tracks
  • Walk down Memory Lane - one of the oldest colonial roads still in existence in Monroe
  • Pause at the hay field to gaze out at distant hills - as farmers did nearly two centuries ago

A true community effort

Installing Benches


Area neighbors volunteered weekends to install park signs and benches
Creating the Webb Mountain Discovery Zone was a true community effort -the coming together of neighbors, community service organizations, local businesses, schools and Public Works to volunteer time and resources over countless weekends to make this park a reality.
