Island Grove Park is a municipal park of the town of Abington, Massachusetts. It consists of a 17-acre (6.9 ha) parcel of land whose principal feature is a peninsula jutting into Island Grove Pond, a 35-acre (14 ha) body of water which was created by impounding the Shumatuscacant River in c. 1700. The area has a siginficant history, first as an industrial site, then as an amusement park, before it became the wooded park it is now.[2] The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 as the Island Grove Park National Register District.[1]
