Ashland State Park is a 470-acre (1.9 km2), multi-use, Massachusetts state park located in Ashland. The park is managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation and includes the 157-acre (0.64 km2) Ashland Reservoir which was completed in 1895. When the reservoir was taken out of service the property was converted to a state park. The reservoir's dam and spillway are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The park has not been staffed since 2009 due to budget cuts.[1][2]
