Park Highlight: Come visit Shattuck Park located next to the Greenfield High School. Shattuck Park was acquired by the city in October 1906. The park is home to a wooded area with mature trees and a playground that was renovated in 2015. If you’re looking for a place in town to take in all that fall has to offer or wanting to mix up what playground you take the children to, then Shattuck Park might be what you’re looking for.
Hiring After-School Staff: The Recreation Department is looking to hire a staff member for its after-school program at Federal Street School. Interested applicants should call 413-772-1553 or email kelly.jenkins@greenfield-ma.gov for more information.
