Brightwood Day was Saturday May 16th 

We had Fairy Houses, Birding (spotted a green heron!), History Tours and met so many people who were also enthusiastic about preserving and restoring our park.  
Thank you to all who came and especially all our new members!

Special thanks to Cara Jacobs Nathanson, who posted this review on Facebook:
Just want to give a huge shoutout to the Friends of Brightwood Park yesterday for organizing such a special day for the town. My girls could not get enough of the Fairy Trail and scavenger hunt around the park, and it was so evident how much love, time, and effort was put into the event.

Watching my 4 year old run around in nature with her fairy wings and wand made me so happy - it's these wholesome moments that childhood is all about.

I learned yesterday that a resident of Westfield for 77 years hadn't ever heard of Brightwood Park - it's a gem and a true sanctuary in town. If you haven't been, please make the time to walk the trail and enjoy the beautiful views. I call it Narnia because you really don't know it's there and then… wow! (Especially in fall!)
Mayor Jeremy Berman please keep this special place top of mind for preservation efforts! It's a one of the reasons I love living here so much.
