Our Holiday Gym Schedule looks a little different than our typical daily schedule – please take a look before visiting us over the vacation timeframe! The last Open Gym before KPRD Basketball takes over our Saturdays = January 3rd from 12-4. Questions? KPRD Office staff is ready to help 7 days a week!

Merrily we roll along: Keene’s Light Up the City Tour voting window has closed. Take the tour to see if your favorite lands in the City’s Top 3 Displays!

Goose Pond Spillway Bridge Donation Program!
The Greater Goose Pond Forest is a 1,000+ acre community treasure. Our stewardship community and volunteers built the spillway bridge in November 2025, making Goose Pond Loop Trail a true loop!

There is still more to do – in the spring of 2026, we will finish the accessibility components of the bridge – and we need your help. Every donation will continue to be matched – dollar for dollar up to $10,000 – through the generosity of the Savings Bank of Walpole. We’re $6000 away from our goal!

KPRD Community Call: Let’s Talk Red Pine Scale

We brought together state, county, community, and urban foresters for a quick, informative online session about this invasive pest threatening our red pines on Tuesday, October 7th from 6:00-6:30pm. Check out the video recording of the session.
