Recreational and cultural opportunities for families are easy to find in Hudson. Cycle the new bike lane on the Assabet River Rail Trail, spend an afternoon reading in the newly expanded and renovated Hudson Library Children's Room, relax at Centennial Beach, get wet or skate at Cellucci Skate & Splash Park, or spend a classic Saturday playing ball at the fields and catching some playground time between games.
Hudson Dining & Shopping
There's no need to leave Hudson for a good meal when it's home to the region's best Italian restaurant, Sofia Ristorante. Start your morning with coffee and a pastry at Ariba Coffee, hit Harvest Cafe for a casual lunch of soup and sandwich or, perhaps, Chloe, an American Bistro. For a laid back dinner, enjoy Checkerboards Pizza Restaurant & Bar or the Horseshow Pub, where they invite you to "enter as strangers, leave as friends."
Hudson shopping ranges from the traditional, Rite Aid and TJ Maxx, to the unexpected, FSP books serving fire, police, and EMS workers. In between, pick up flowers to brighten your home at All Occasions Hudson Florist or Apple Valley Flower Shoppe, take the kids to Toyboat, Toyboat, Toyboat, or spruce up your wardrobe at Giggis Boutique and Brooklyn Public Couture. For a mall experience, Solomon Pond Mall is in nearby Marlborough.
Hudson Community, Culture, Recreation
On July 4, 1894, boys playing with fire crackers started a fire that would destroy more than 40 buildings in the heart of town. Today, that rebuilt area is enhanced and celebrated with the recent restoration of trees, reproduction streetlights, and a brick-lined sidewalk.
The Hudson Community comes together for South Street Arts in the Park, summer concerts at Wood Park, and the River's Edge Players community auditioned theater group. The Hudson Library enhances the community spirit not only by its Wowbrary weekly notice service and bringing people together for book clubs or a drop-in chess club, but by its One Book, One Hudson program encouraging everyone to read the same book.
