A large public park with nature trails and play areas for children, located at 27 Kimball Hill Road, in Hudson Center just off NH 111 (Central Street). The park is the former site of a large zoo and amusement park, known as Benson's Wild Animal Farm, and briefly as New England Playland before its closure in 1987. The land lied fallow for over 20 years before the volunteers, supported by the town, cleaned up the park and converted it to a large public park. There are still several buildings and attractions from the former amusement park that have been restored. The town also has a memorial for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the park. It features an actual girder from the World Trade Center, as well as an informative display describing the timeline of the attacks.
A 1/4 mile paved racetrack features auto racing weekends from May–October. The track lies just off of NH 102 (Derry Road) at the northwestern outskirts of town, near the boundary with Londonderry.
