About River Grove Park
River Grove Park is a large park near downtown North Adams. The park is an ideal family-friendly pitstop for a short day in Western Massachusetts. Visitors will find an expansive lawn in the park's center, which serves as a game field for youth football during the appropriate season. With stadium lights, games can continue into the evening.
The property is also a fantastic picnic spot. Visitors can bring a blanket and eat lunch while exploring the city's downtown area. A small pathway travels around the lawn and offers benches for rest. With its tall trees, this path has ample shade on hot days in the Berkshires. Visitors will also find a new woodchipped playground that is perfect for young kids of all ages.
In the back, the property features a dog park with two separate areas for small and large dogs. This is an excellent place for dogs to play and make friends.
Parking is in a large lot off River Street, directly adjacent to the Porches Inn.

Accessibility Assessment
Features- Accessible Parking
This site features a large parking lot with two designated handicap spots. There is a paved path that goes around the entire park and connects to the playground from the parking lot. The playground is accessible to enter; however, it is made of a mulch flooring, and the components are elevated a foot off the ground, making them not accessible. The dog park is accessible and is reachable by a paved sidewalk.
