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.

PICNICS

HOW DO I GET A RESERVATION?

Look Park is a great place for a picnic, however permits are required. Permits may be obtained at the Park Office in person, by phone at 413-584-5457.

Advance reservations are recommended but may be made the same day. Best chance for availability is planning in advance, especially for weekends and holidays.

WHAT COMES WITH A TABLE?

All picnic sites have charcoal grills for use and the site is yours for the full calendar day. You do have to provide your own charcoal and matches. Look Park has a Carry-in Carry-out trash policy, so you are responsible for removing all trash from the park at the end of your rental.

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT ONE TABLE IN A GROUP SITE?

Group sites are reserved for picnics with a larger number of people. For example, site 2 has tables A-D, if you want table 2A and 2B you are required to purchase 2C and 2D as well. We do this to accommodate larger crowds. Please be aware when you are renting part of a group site (Examples; site 2A-D, 8A-D, Club Area, etc) that you may be required to share grills with other parties in the same site. When renting a site which has 2 tables at it you are required to pay for all the tables on that site.
