Brookside Park

Athol, MA

Team: Cuban Stars of Havana

This 16 acre park had its heyday from 1900 to 1938. It is located on the Athol and Orange town line where West Brook hits Miller's River. In addition to a ball field, the park had a band shell, dance hall, merry-go-round, roller skating, a cafe and boating. The park was destroyed by a hurricane in 1938.
