Robinson State Park is a 1,025-acre public recreation area in western Massachusetts, mostly in Agawam with a small section in Westfield, stretching along the Westfield River. Its creation began when Springfield businessman John C. Robinson started buying riverfront parcels in 1920 to preserve the land for recreation rather than industrial development, then donated land to the state in 1934 and 1937. The park is valued for its river corridor, unusually diverse forest environment, rare and threatened wildflowers, and varied wildlife. With about 20 miles of trails and roads, it remains an important local place for hiking, cycling, skiing, birdwatching, and other outdoor recreation.
