North Riverfront Park features a seasonal splash pad, pickleball courts, disc golf, a gaga ball pit, playground equipment, picnic shelters, seasonal restroom facilities and trail connections with riverfront access. South Riverfront Park includes soccer and athletic fields, sand volleyball courts, a disc golf course, playground equipment, scenic overlooks with fishing access, canoe and kayak launch access, picnic shelters, seasonal restroom and concession facilities, and walking paths with trail connections. The shops and restaurants of historic downtown Lowell are just a few minutes away.
