Playgrounds & Parks
Wade in shallow water with smooth stones underfoot. Picnic inside a sculpture with a view of Mt. Greylock. That’s just two of the many ways to playgrounds and parks get you outdoors in the northern Berkshires.
- Friendly trails run near frog ponds at Field Farm and Sheep Hill. Gentle paths meander alongside water lily ponds and up Stone Hill on the campus of the Clark Art Institute.
- Dogs and their people enjoy romps at The Spruces and on wooded trails — especially when they end in waterfalls, like at the Cascades.
- Williamstown’s Margaret Lindley Park, spaces along local rivers, and Windsor Lake in North Adams offer beaches and shady spots near water.
- Structured explorations include school playgrounds, the swimming pool at Sand Springs, the slopes of Jiminy Peak, and ropes courses at Ramblewild.
Kids (and dogs!) run, climb, swim, and tire themselves out at recreation parks and playgrounds in the purple valley.
