With the influx of new trail users. we feel it is important to create pocket parks along the trail. Also hidden wooded paths that open up to reveal a view, Phillipston Turntable area is- not just the turntable itself but an area where tracks existed along with buildings, these are being unearthed. Mahoning Bridge restoration is a project for 2021 and has a spectacular view of the river, These are a few example$ of many pocket parks. A place for parents and families to explore with their kids and grandparents to detach from what is going on in the world. These pocket parks require a bit more attention than the monthly mowings the trail receives. We have planted grass instead of letting them fill in on their own.
