Worcester is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) west of Boston, 50 miles (80 km) east of Springfield and 40 miles (64 km) north of Providence.

We visit this park to walk our dogs outside of our usual routine. It has a great path, and tons of open space. Recommend for people with pets, families with children, or just looking for a nice green open space.

This place made me So Hoppy! We had a couple of beer flights to sample their goods. My husband and I enjoyed most of them, which is a plus for a local brewery. Their signature beer, So Hoppy, was easy to drink on their outdoor patio. Loved their attitude and swag!
