February 19, 2020 -Holyoke Heritage State Park – Massachusetts

Today Shadow, Wilma, and I Adventured to Holyoke Heritage State Park in Holyoke, Massachusetts.  Holyoke Heritage State Park includes: a Children’s Museum, the Volleyball Hall of fame, playgrounds, a Merry-Go-Round, and a Visitor Center which highlights Holyoke’s paper manufacturing history.  There are pathways throughout the Park, including along the canal which once powered the local mills.

We had a unique Adventure to the Holyoke Heritage State Park on a windy New England day.  The Park was small, and mostly suited for those with indoor plans in mind, especially ideal for children, volleyball enthusiasts, and those interested in industrial history.  We wandered around every path in the Park, soon locating a map of the accessible paths.  I peered in the windows viewing the Merry-Go-Round and the smiles of children playing.  There were some murals, a large wheel, and a short, but lovely walk along the canal.  We met many children who were eager to see the dogs, the only furry friends around!  Wilma threw herself on the ground, rolling in eager anticipation of guests, while Shadow enjoyed his “normal” Adventure rolls.  We spent about forty five minutes exploring the grounds of the property, Shadow and Wilma appreciating the smells of a new Adventure.  Glad we could find a new location for a walk today (Blog will not be rated as only the grounds were explored).
