Throughout the seasons, in good times and bad, a wealth of play, exploration, and learning happens outdoors at Park. Tirelessly maintained by the Facilities Department, Park’s remarkable 34-acre campus provides for creative, open-ended play, competitive sport, scientific exploration, artistic inspiration, and community gathering. During the pandemic, moving many activities outside has increased safety for all and prompted new thinking as to how Park can continue to use its outdoor resources when we return to normal. Click the link to read more of Cornelius Howland's '87, P' 27, article which covers the history of our campus, how we maintain it, and how we use it as both a competitive and curricular space.
