Robinson State Park serves as a major day use area for the Springfield region.  Donated to the state in 1934 by John C. Robinson, the facility includes over 800 acres with five miles of frontage on the Westfield River.

A paved road that runs along the River’s edge creates access to the park available for cars, foot traffic, bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs leading to the swimming pond, playing fields picnic areas and the launch area for canoeing and kayaking.

Approximately 20 miles of trails in the park are shared by walkers, hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders.  Many of them offer scenic views of the Westfield River, including the 17 acre island west of the falls at Mittineague, which is one of the park's most picturesque spots.

Robinson State Park is open from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Sunday-Thursday.
