Burlington suburb with access to commerce and outdoor recreation
Tucked amidst the verdant landscapes of northwest Vermont, the town of Williston blends connectivity and tranquility. Located just east of Burlington, the community town center in the west end is clustered with shops, services, offices and restaurants, while the surrounding area retains a rural feel and residential atmosphere with spread-out homes on larger lots. Once a patchwork of farmlands, Williston’s development in the last few decades has propelled the town into a flourishing Burlington suburb. The community prides itself on a close-knit feel, fostered in part by its many opportunities for outdoor recreation and thriving Parks and Recreation Department. Proximity to Burlington is another draw, and residents have easy access to major thoroughfares like Interstate 89.

Outdoor recreation at community parks and Catamount Center
The town’s recreation rotates around its community parks. “We have four community parks that the Recreations and Parks Department oversees,” says program director of 10 years, Todd Goodwin. Williston’s largest park is Village Community Park, a 30-acre tract with various recreational amenities including a 9-hole disc golf course, multiple sports fields and sand volleyball courts. Allen Brook Park features the Allen Brook nature trail, which connects to Village Community Park. “Right now, Allen Brook Park has two multi-purpose fields, but our master plan is to build out the park,” Goodwin says. “The goal is to have two larger parks for the town in different areas that are accessible and open to everyone.”
The community parks host the Recreation and Parks Department’s many offerings, from fitness activities to special programs. “We offer a variety of recreational programs for all ages,” Goodwin says. “There are a lot of adult recreation and leagues like soccer clubs and also youth camps. We’re always trying to find new programming and bring new things into the parks.” Goodwin says that while the department only manages the four public parks, locals may access Williston’s passive recreational areas as well, which include multiple trails and the town forest.
Stretching across 500 acres, Catamount Outdoor Family Center also serves as a year-round hub for outdoor recreation. Centered around a bed and breakfast housed in a 1796 estate, the rural property features 20 miles of biking and cross-country ski trails. Daily passes and annual memberships allow locals to enjoy daily activities and weekly outings, including weekly mountain biking and trail running races, youth programs, summer camps and lessons. In the winter, recreationists can trade their running shoes and bikes for skis and snowshoes.
