The most memorable family landmark in Hudson is Bensons Animal Park. Originally it was zoo that until 1987 offered live animals and trainers, kiddie rides as well as some local eats! There was a railroad that connected Boston to Hudson which brought many outside visitors to the zoo. In 2002 repairs began on the Park and in 2010 it was converted into what we now know as Benson’s Park.

Benson’s Park now has a playground for children, walking trails with beautiful scenery lots of perennials, a pond, memorial benches and pavilions.
