Volunteers Needed at the Holyoke Merry Go Round

Volunteers have always been critical to the success of the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round. From the early days of the Save the Merry-Go-Round for Holyoke Campaign to the present time, hundreds of volunteers have generously donated their time and talents to perform tasks and provide services associated with every facet of our operation. Volunteers continue to be needed to help us with children’s birthday parties, greet and thank visitors at our Merry-Go-Round gates, assist at our concession, accompany costumed characters and give out treats at special events and so much more.

Please consider sharing a few hours a month of your valuable time and your talents to help us preserve our historic treasure and most importantly, to welcome our many visitors. Your reward will be heartwarming smiles, shared memories and our staff’s appreciation for the important assistance that you will be providing. We will be happy to teach you about your new role and will schedule you according to your availability.


If you are interested and would like more information, please e-mail us at friends @holyokemerrygoround.org., add subject “Volunteer” or call 413-538-9838. We would love to hear from you!

Images of America: Mountain Park
by Jay Ducharme
Jay Ducharme worked at Mountain Park for over a decade, just as his father before him, and has spent much of his life preserving and sharing the history of the park. He is a member of the board of directors for the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round at Heritage State park, the only part of Mountain Park that has remained in the city. The rarely seen images in this book have been gathered from the collections of the Holyoke Public Library, Wistariahurst Museum, local newspapers, and residents.


The author Jay Ducharme will be on hand at the Derby Dazzle May 3 for a book signing. Books will be on sale at the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round.
