HAMPSHIRE PARK
The Hampshire Council of Governments owns a beautiful 106-acre wooded parcel on a hilltop in Leeds, MA.
The centerpiece of the parcel is Hampshire Care, a 120-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility owned and operated by the Council. Hampshire Care enjoys a long reputation for the highest quality of care, verified by maintaining the County's highest rating on the State "Nursing Home Report Card."
In addition to Hampshire Care, Hampshire Park is home to Camp Hodgkins, a rustic campground. The Hampshire Educational Collaborative leases Camp Hodgkins to operate a six-week summer day camp for children and youth with special needs.
The Council plans to expand the campus development to include uses complimentary to Hampshire Care, including housing and education. Plans begun several years ago with a series of public meetings continue to be refined, with a Master Plan, engineering studies, and in 2007, a feasibility study for infrastructure improvements.
The grounds are available to the public for walking, bird-watching, and other activities that enjoy the natural aspects of the wooded surroundings.
