Shedd Park

Shedd Park is a 50-acre public park near Lowell containing multiple baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a water park. The facility sits adjacent to Lowell Cemetery and offers various recreational and sports options for visitors.

Freeman B. Shedd made a bequest of 100,000 dollars from his estate in 1910 that enabled the park's creation. The field house was constructed in 1927 and expanded the recreational facilities.

The John D. Lord Pavilion serves as a gathering point where the community hosts events, concerts, and celebrations throughout the year. Local residents use this central structure regularly for social and cultural activities.

The park remains open from sunrise to sunset, and visitors should know that permits are required for pavilion reservations and use of specific recreational areas. The best time to visit is during warmer months when all sports facilities and the water park are operational.

This park connects with Fort Hill and Lowell Cemetery to form one of the largest linked green spaces in Greater Lowell. The three sites together create an extensive natural and recreational area within the urban landscape.
