Amesbury Sports Park is a recreational facility located next to Interstate 495 in Amesbury, Massachusetts.
The first known reference was as a ski area called Lone Tree Hill in 1949. Lone Tree Hill featured a wide slope serviced by a 1,000-foot (300 m) rope tow. It is unknown when the ski area closed.[1]
Amesbury Sports Park was later opened on this same hill. The snow tubing facility features multiple lanes and lifts, complemented with snowmaking and night lighting. Multiple fields at the base of the hill allow for off-season activities such as soccer.
Winter activities include snow tubing on the steepest tubing hill in New England, and skiing / snowboarding in the Junkyard Terrain Park. The terrain park includes various recycled items that guests can jump and ride – a vending machine, school lockers, a science lab table, tractor tires, stairs, etc. plus more traditional terrain park features like spines, fun boxes, and a wall.
The Sports Park hosts occasional gourmet wine dinners, comedy shows, fundraisers, and more. They host an annual Big Air Snowboarding and Skiing Competition, an annual Brewfest, and various music and comedy events through the year.
