We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Look Memorial Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Attractions include a steam train, playgrounds, pedal boats, mini-golf, a water park & a small zoo.
What runners say about Look Memorial Park
“The park was beautiful especially when it’s not busy, there was a lot of things to do so I tried to do lots for them to get a idea of the park.”
“Beautiful park, family friendly, lots of things to do”
Fun place. There is mini paddle boats $8 for 30min., a life guard is on canoe on watch just in case and they also provide life jackets if you desire, about 4 people can enter in it but only 2 paddle the boat which moves about 5mph, the pond is pretty big and I saw a big turtle there.
Great place to bring the kids or just to walk around the park. The petting zoo was under construction, but we still very much enjoyed the animals. Especially seeing the baby goats and the rescued birds. Beautiful scenery and great place to picnic. The splash park is great for the kids.
The park was beautiful especially when it’s not busy, there was a lot of things to do so I tried to do lots for them to get a idea of the park. First thing I noticed is a lot of walking and bike trails also dog poop bag dispensers.
We had a great time photographing a summer wedding ceremony outside at Look Park this past June! Beautiful location surrounded by towering pines. Guests enjoyed the scenery and a bit of shade during the ceremony! This wedding venue is just a short drive from Northampton, MA.
