Holyoke Merry-Go-Round
Heritage State Park, Holyoke, MA
The Holyoke Merry-Go-Round has been a source of pride to the City
of Holyoke since it began to take on riders in 1929. However, when
its original home, Mountain
Park, closed in 1987, many thought it was an end of an era. But
thanks to a very dedicated group known as the Friends of the Holyoke
Merry-Go-Round, the ride lives on, attracting over 50,000 visitors
annually.
The Merry-Go-Round reopened to the public in 1993 at Heritage Park
in downtown Holyoke, in a gorgeous pavilion similar in design to that
of it's original home at MT. Park and has been source of enjoyment
for children of all ages, ever since.
