Department of Public Works
Pulaski Park
Pulaski Park is centrally located on Main Street in downtown Northampton. The one acre municipal park provides a natural space for all to enjoy including shade trees, walkways, benches and a play structure.
Pulaski Park Renovation
In 2014, the Department of Public Works received funding from the Northampton Community Preservation Committee to design renovations to Pulaski Park. The Park was last renovated in 1976. The DPW has contracted with Stephen Stimson Associates Landscape Architects to solicit community input regarding park renovations and to complete a design for park renovations.
