Park description edit

Bonavista State Park's property was once farmland, and was farmed by residents of the Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane. The golf course contains apple and pear trees that remain from the farm's orchard.[4]

The park features a nine-hole golf course, which can allow for an 18-hole round by playing each hole from different tees. The park also includes a clubhouse, restaurant, picnic areas, and a snack bar.[1]
