"The Greenfield Energy Park is a beautiful example of organizing open spaces around the issues of clean energy." --Katherine Kottaridis, Director, Office of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
We did it! A beautiful community greenspace graces the heart of downtown Greenfield, Massachusetts. It is located one mile from Route I-91 and Routes 2, 5 & 10. The mission of this lovely town park is to offer an inviting gathering place for lunches, concerts or workshops and to provide public education about issues of sustainable energy in a friendly, non-technical atmosphere. The park is one and one-quarter acres. Funding came from a wide variety of community, state and federal sources through grant awards, foundation gifts and individual contributions. The park is owned by the Town of Greenfield and was built in partnership with the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA), a not-for-profit membership-based organization. NESEA organizes all clean energy demonstration exhibits in the park on an ongoing basis and programs to bring visitors onsite for community-building and to learn more about renewable energy.
There are many reasons to PARK yourself in Greenfield for the day!
