The D.W. Field Park Initiative is a forward-thinking park revitalization project led by Wildlands Trust in partnership with the City of Brockton. We are working collaboratively with community partners and experts to create a new master plan for Brockton's crown jewel, D.W. Field Park. Spanning 700 acres that include 7 water bodies, the park serves as an outdoor oasis for recreation and nature study for 100,000 Brockton residents, 5,000 Avon residents, and visitors from many surrounding towns. The new master plan will include green infrastructure solutions for stormwater management, infrastructure upgrades to better serve recreational activities and improve safety and accessibility, and widespread community engagement and environmental education. Join Wildlands Trust Director of Special Projects Rachel Calderara Bruce for a 2 mile walk at the park to learn all about it.
Terrain:
Paved, mostly flat with one hill.
Registration for this field trip will close at noon, April 25 - or earlier if filled - to give the host enough time to distribute directions and other information.
In case of inclement weather, the walk may be canceled or rescheduled at the discretion of the host. Your host will contact registrants with detailed directions (including parking) and in case of weather-related changes.
Due to limited capacity, if you are not able to attend after you register for the walk, please contact admin@massland.org a.s.a.p. so we can open your spot for someone else.
