This mostly hilly and rocky park (roughly 80 acres) would have been the non-productive part of the farm (though it is well suited for over four miles of walking trails). While no longer a contiguous property, there remains a large tillable area to the northeast, part of the
Ethan Allen Museum (portions of which are used for community gardens) and the
Ethan Allen Homestead, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
