The two-acre park is tucked away at the west end of the McIntire Historic District off Highland Avenue, near the corner of Boston and Essex Streets.
The city was awarded a grant of $420,946 from the Commonwealth’s Division of Conservation Services to renovate the park, including new entrances, rehabilitation of the baseball field, replacement of play equipment and installation of community garden plots. The newly renovated park reopened earlier this summer.
