Fort Foster is Preparing to Open for the Official 2022 Season!

Fort Foster is a local treasure, steeped in history with trails, beaches, play areas and outdoor function space.  Fort Foster is also a complex and vital natural resource, providing habitat to native and endangered animals, plants and trees.  As Fort Foster reopens in May, visitors will see exciting new park signage that reflects the newly updated park rules and regulations, and encourages everyone to help protect this vital natural resource.  To view the updated Fort Foster Park rules, please click here.

Park visitors may also notice signage indicating that invasive plant removal operations inside Fort Foster are underway.  The Town developed the Invasive Species Management Plan in 2020 and recommendations in the plan focus on controlling existing invasive plants and eradicating new ones, with the goal of restoring the dominance of native plant communities throughout the park.  To view the complete Fort Foster Invasive Species Master Plan, please click here.
