McPherson Park

Park Overview

Situated in Lowell's Centralville neighborhood, McPherson Park spreads across 8.5 acres of recreational space. The park features a variety of sports facilities and amenities.

Sports Facilities

The park has three softball fields where you can catch local leagues in action or maybe join a casual game yourself. During games, the snack shack serves up refreshments to keep your energy up. Prefer racquet sports? The park features three tennis courts for those looking to practice their serve. Basketball enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either - two basketball courts await your next pickup game.

Recreational Amenities

When summer temperatures soar, the seasonal swimming pool becomes the park's most popular spot. Kids have their own spaces to explore with two separate playground areas designed for climbing, sliding, and imaginative play.

Facilities

Public restrooms are available around the park, making it convenient for longer visits to the park.

Parking Information

Heads up - parking at McPherson Park is somewhat limited. You might need a bit of patience finding a spot during softball tournaments or on beautiful weekend days, as you'll likely end up parking on the surrounding neighborhood streets.

Access Information

The park welcomes visitors year-round from dawn until dusk, but hours may shift with the seasons and daylight availability. Like other Lowell parks, your use of McPherson falls under the City of Lowell's Board of Parks rules and regulations, including any permit requirements for organized activities.

Community Involvement

In 2023, the park got some love from Habitat for Humanity Lowell and YouthBuild volunteers who joined forces to rebuild the softball field dugouts - contributing to the park's maintenance and improvement.
