Stanley Park (Westfield, Massachusetts)

[3] It is a short walking distance from Westfield State University, located across Western Avenue to the northwest from Stanley Park.

Frank Stanley Beveridge was born in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1879, and he moved to western Massachusetts in 1900 to attend Mount Hermon School in Northfield.

Westfield Bank donated the security cameras, after public outcry that the park did not have any surveillance on the duck pond area.

Occasionally wood ducks will visit the pond in the winter, and in the summer some park guests have seen great blue herons.

It includes a number of gardens, listed below, as well as a playground, soccer fields, tennis courts, picnic area, wildlife sanctuary, colonial pond, covered bridge, and blacksmith shop.

[2] Stanley Park features multiple natural walking trails, throughout the woods and along the Little River, as well as leading to a variety of ponds, gardens, and wildlife sanctuary.

Along with experiencing nature, Stanley Park features operating mills, a meetinghouse, blacksmith shop, Asian tea house, and dinosaur tracks.
