GARDEN HOUSE
Plan your next event at the Look Park Garden House!
The Garden House stands on the site of the former Look Park pool building, a nostalgic Northampton landmark built in 1930. The building was restored to its current Mission Style in 1999 and has since become the area’s premier banquet facility.
The interior speaks of simple elegance, featuring a large stone fireplace and mahogany paneled walls decorated with hand-crafted botanical stencils. The enclosed sunporch offers a lovely view of some of the park’s many attractions and is accented with tasteful wrought iron accessories, opalesque wall sconces, and awnings reminiscent of earlier days at the pool building.
