Look Park, nestled in the village of Florence in Northampton, Massachusetts, is a privately run non-profit park that is open all year round. The park, which spans about 150 acres, was a generous gift to the City of Northampton from Mrs. Fannie Burr Look, wife of Frank Newhall Look. The park is maintained and operated through a trust fund, visitor fees, grants, and gifts. Despite being owned by the city, Look Park operates as a non-profit organization and does not receive any funding from the city or state.
