Worcester Love at Green Hill Park

Green Hill Park is gorgeous. It's great to have it right in the middle of Worcester. When I was a youngster my parents took me here during the winter for some serious sledding. Back then it felt like the Swiss Alps or the Rocky Mountains. Nowadays I prefer it during the warmer months when I need a quick nature fix. From some spots in the park you feel like you're twenty miles from the nearest truck stop never mind being five minutes from downtown.

One of my biggests regrets in life is not borrowing my uncles super-8 film recorder to capture the magical rocketship slide that was once here. I hope that it ended up in a museum somewhere. It was out of control retro futuristic & amazing. Someone must have a photo or something.


Anyway- hope you enjoy. This episode really makes me proud of the diversity in Worcester. You couldn't plan this kind of thing. When the Brazillian woman started singing with her daughter I looked around to make sure some other video crew wasn't taping us taping her.

Don't forget to check out the Worcester Love official website.
