Gardner Memorial Wayside Park is a small state park with picnic facilities in the 6,675-acre (27.01 km2) Gile State Forest in Wilmot, New Hampshire.[1] Located on New Hampshire Route 4A, it is open year-round and offers picnicking, hiking, and fishing alongside a brook that was once the location of a mill in the 1800s.[2] The Wayside includes a memorial to Walter C. Gardner II, whose father established Gile State Forest.
An easy half-mile trail leads from Gardner Memorial Wayside Park to scenic Butterfield Pond.[3]
The park is near Winslow State Park and McDaniels Marsh State Wildlife Area.
