Noon Hill and Shattuck Reservation are adjacent open space preserves located in Medfield, Massachusetts. They are managed by the land conservation non-profit organization The Trustees of Reservations. The 200-mile (320 km) Bay Circuit Trail passes through both properties. The Town of Medfield owns conservation land adjacent to the properties. Noon Hill is a 204-acre (83 ha) open space preserve that offers 4.5 miles (7.2 km) of trails available for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross country skiing. Oak-hickory forest, wetlands, vernal pools, steep ravines, boulders, and rocky ledges characterize the preserve. The preserve is centered on 370-foot (110 m) Noon Hill, a prominent summit and scenic vista. Holt Pond, a constructed mill pond, is located on the property. Shattuck Reservation is a 245-acre (99 ha) preserve along the Charles River. It consists of "a forested upland neck of oak and pine overlooking a wet meadow and red maple swamp." Stone walls demonstrate that the land was once used as pasture.
