    Great playground with lots of options for a wide range of ages. Our almost 3 year old lived all the choices she had to play.

    There are about 6 tennis courts here that are pretty well-maintained, as well as a couple of always=packed basketball courts.

    The family were in New England for an extended weekend and I knew I needed to carve out a minute to…read morepay my respects to a writer that's been influential to me and my friends. First stop: Edson Cemetery (about 10 minutes away) to visit his burial plot, which would prove to be more profound and interesting to me. (I'd recommend that and skipping this park, to be honest.) Lowell seems to be a town struggling and it was heartbreaking to see so many people suffering and asking for help at almost every corner as I tried to get here. Then when I got to the park itself there were a few homeless people on the outer benches which made me feel like an idiot when I pulled out my phone to document my visit. All that being said... I think it's cool (and meaningful) that 'Ti Jean' was given a memorial park in his hometown. The park's small. Some benches are spaced between concentric columns. There was also a ping-pong table as well as plenty of trees off to the side. Some of the columns that have etched quotes and tidbits regarding Kerouac are faded/damaged and hard to read. Parking was an issue. (Litter all around was another.) Even the most devoted fans of Sal Paradise might not dig coming here. (If I were much braver I would've loved to swing by Arthur's Diner across the street which looked EXACTLY like the kind of place the Beats would've frequented to ramble and rant and preach and maybe even do a bit of writing about their most recent experiences out and about in the world.)

    This park has cool history but it is pretty busy during the day & very small in size, and might be…read morebetter to see early in the morning or sunset. Parking is doable in the area.

    Gorham Street Pool - This pool was closed for several years…read more A couple of years ago, they re-did the whole thing and it's clean and nice. There's a decent parking lot. CAUTION - this pool STARTS at 4 feet deep and gets deeper from there. It might not be good for small children. THIS AND THE OTHER POOLS DON'T OPEN UNTIL JULY AND CLOSE IN MID-AUGUST. South Common Pool - South Common is that big, open field off Thorndike Street. It's near the train station. This pool does have a clothes changing/bathroom building, but it's pretty old and not very good. The pool's clean and has steps that lead down to the shallowest part which starts at 2 1/2 feet. There's a playground that's not too old across South Common from the pool. McPherson Pool - 45 Richardson Street - has a brand new this year (2010) large playground RIGHT NEXT TO the pool. Fletcher Street Pool (State, not city, operated) - This and McPherson are both similar in structure and condition (well maintained pools, start with steps that lead down to 2 1/2 feet at shallow end and old, kind of crappy changing rooms/bathrooms) to the South Common Pool. There's a small, new-ish playground across North Common from the Fletcher Street pool. POOL HOURS: open at noon and close at 6pm. They offer one hour FREE SWIMMING LESSONS to kids at 10 am on a couple of days mid-week
