Quinsigamond State Park

Quinsigamond State Park is a recreational area on the western shore of Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester with two distinct sections. The park provides water access, green spaces, and facilities designed for activities centered around the lake.

The land was donated in 1884 by Horace H. Bigelow and Edward L. Davis to Worcester for public park development. This gift established the foundation for what became this recreational area.

The lake serves as a gathering place for rowing enthusiasts and competitive athletes who use the water course throughout the year. People come here to watch events, train, and connect with a sport that has deep roots in the local community.

The park has two separate areas with different functions and includes pavilions that accommodate groups of various sizes. Visitors should plan ahead to determine which section best fits their intended activities.

The area features a standardized 2,000-meter rowing course used for competitions at school, college, and national levels. This specialized setup makes it a significant training and competition venue for rowers.
