All are welcome here

Willowdale was founded on the belief that exploring and playing in nature fosters resiliency, empathy, and problem-solving skills in the youngest of explorers. When we say all are welcome, we mean it. At Willowdale, we believe every child deserves the freedom to explore, learn, and thrive outdoors.

​

Just as every season brings new wonders, our mission continues to grow while nurturing safe, welcoming spaces where families can connect with nature and one another.

get to know us

We primarily connect on the land at Stark Park in Manchester and partner with families and organizations across the state to expand access to nature to as many learners as possible.
