About the neighborhood

Gardner is home to The Colonial Hotel. While the natural beauty of Dunn State Park and Lake Dennison State Recreation Area can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Wachusett Mountain Ski Area. Mount Wachusett Community College and Cushing Academy are two other places to visit that come recommended. Be sure not to miss outdoor adventures like hiking/biking trails and skydiving.
