For the 2025-2026 ski season the Nordic Ski Park is moving from Elm Park and Newton Hill to the Green Hill Park Golf Course, with the hope that we will have more skiable days with the diminished amount of snow we have been having for the last several years. Equipment will be relocated there on December 9th – sorry it won’t be ready in time for today’s snow! Grooming is done by volunteers and so trails may not be ready immediately after a storm. Check here for grooming updates after 12/9/25.
The Park Spirit of Worcester Nordic Ski Park was established in 2018 with funds from the Mass Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Recreational Trails Grant program. Originally located at Elm Park and Newton Hill, for the 2025-2026 ski season operations were moved to Green Hill Park.
The Ski Park provides a free wintertime recreational opportunity for both classic and skate skiing in a beautiful, historic public space and is the only groomed, public-access cross-country ski venue in Central Massachusetts.
Trail grooming is done by Park Spirit volunteers and operating expenses are entirely funded by user donations. We encourage skiers to donate $5-10 per use and appreciate the support of the Nordic skiing community that makes this possible.
