On the Market near Griggs Park

You’re doing errands in Coolidge Corner, but when you’re finished, you impulsively investigate a little trail off Beacon Street called Marion Path, located just west of all the hubbub of the Corner. At the end of the short path, you find that you have entered a green oasis surrounded by scaled-down residential homes.

 Welcome to Griggs Park.

Griggs Park is a 4.17 acre kidney-shaped oasis of nature bounded by Griggs Road and Griggs Terrace. Landscaped with graceful weeping willows and incorporating a little pond, the park is all things to all people: a children’s park, a place to walk and jog, a dog run. The park was built and accepted by the town in 1903 and the surrounding residential properties were developed as a unit by Thomas B. Griggs. Built mainly between 1900 and 1925, the housing is a mix of large single-family homes, two-family row houses, and multi-family dwellings. The park and neighborhood are included in the Griggs Park Historic District on the National/State Register of Historic Places.

These days, it’s not too easy to find houses for sale on either Griggs Road or Griggs Terrace. The residents who live across from this beautiful park know how good they’ve got it. Still, there are a few smaller condos currently availabe in the surrounding area. Such as:
