This park is the first national park for the performing arts, and it offers a wealth of natural and cultural resources, interpretive programs, and ”Theater in the Woods”. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk, however, there are some exceptions; during park festivals and Filene Center performances.

Dogs are allowed throughout the park, except they are not allowed in the concert area during performances. Dogs of all sizes are allowed at no additional fee. Dogs may not be left unattended, and they must be leashed and cleaned up after.
