Welcome!

What to do in the Woo is a blog for Clark Students by a Clark student. I love Clark, but it took a little while for me to warm up to Worcester and I know that I'm not the only one. When I was given an assignment in Advanced Professional Communications to make a semester long project, I thought I would create a blog about things to do in Worcester. So if your looking to try something new alone or with a group, your parents are visiting, or you want to find a fun place to take a date, check out my blog! If you have a few minutes, please comment and take the polls. Any suggestions are more than welcome!

Lake Quinsigamond



It gets really hot in Worcester during the summer, and Lake Quinsigamond is a really nice place to cool off. If you like the hike, there are trails near the lake, but personally I just like to swim.

Purgatory Chasm



I’ve never been to Purgatory Chasm, but I also am not particularly outdoorsy. For people who enjoy hiking, climbing, etc, I hear it’s a lot of fun.

Greenhill Park



Greenhill Park is pretty big, and it’s a really pretty place to spend the day relaxing outside. You can’t swim in the lake, but I have seen people using small boats in it.

Elm Park



Elm Park is a really nice place to go for a picnic or to lie out on the grass, and it is also home to several events during the summer and early fall months. Currently, Elm Park is hosting “Art in the Park,” which involves art instillations strategically placed around the park. Every Thursday evening during from June – August, there are live music performances, and in July there is my favorite park event – The Ice Cream Festival: $5 entrance fee and you can eat as much ice cream (donated from several different companies) as you want.
