Great way to get involved in making our outdoor spaces more accessible for all ♥️

Join us at the Accessible Trails Public Forum on Monday, September 15th! 🌳

The future of Massachusetts trails is being written and you have a chance to shape it. Hosted by the Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation, this statewide forum will present draft recommendations for improving trail access across Massachusetts and invites public feedback to ensure trails welcome everyone, today and for generations to come.

Your input matters. Together, we can build more welcoming, inclusive trails for people of all abilities across the Commonwealth!

Beautiful outdoor art space, now just more accessible :)

·The "Art in the Orchard" ArtCart is up and running at Park Hill Orchard! We offer guests with mobility challenges a chance to experience the entire sculpture trail without walking! The ArtCart can accommodate 5 people, including one wheelchair.

This Labor Day Weekend, we are offering runs at 1:30 on Saturday, 2:30 on Sunday, and 1:30 on Monday. None of the runs are full at this time. To make a reservation, please call the ArtCart phone at 413-923-8050. If you're interested, please don't wait -- it's going to be a gorgeous weekend.

On future weekends, we plan to offer runs on Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and afternoon, and Sunday afternoon.
