Shaded picnic table at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
Five picnic tables—no grills—are located on the field next to the Iron Works House at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. Four of them are out in the middle of the field and exposed to the sun, while only one is under a shade tree. I suppose that’s fine if the weather is cool, but I visited on a hot day and the shaded table was taken, so I did not stay to eat my lunch as I had planned because I wasn’t about to bake in the sun.
Picnic area at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
It is possible to hold an event at the park by securing a Special Use Permit, but I don’t really consider this a picnic area that you would want to reserve for a birthday party or other picnicking event.
