Inside - a track, a field for sports, with artificial turf. A snack bar, and more. The space here is great and handled the crowd with no problem. From the website it looks like many sports teams use the space regularly. This would be a awesome place for a night event or food event.

Great place to go for a run in their massive indoor track. It did take me about 15 minutes to get…read morethe attention of the front desk worker, but after that it was a good experience. No one was in the track, however if you want to use the turf fields that you will need to rent, because when I went there were multiple sports teams practicing on the turf fields. All and all a great experience and a great track!

There are lots of benches and there's a small yet decently maintained beach with public restrooms. There are a couple of small parking lots that fill up quickly, but it's okay to park along the street. The paved foot path along the river is over one mile long. Great for urban hiking, walking, strollers, exercise.

Not to mention all the summer events like the African festival and Southeast Asian Water fest, among so many others. This is a nice, paved, well-maintained multipurpose path with lots of benches to sit on while you enjoy the beautiful Merrimack river. Well-lit at night with street lamps, it's the perfect place to watch a sunset while you enjoy an icecream cone from Heritage ice cream across the street. It's wonderful to see all the regulars while you walk and all the families enjoying the city. Arguably the best free thing you can do in Lowell on an evening.

They still use tickets rather than digital points on a card. Still use tokens too. Bring some cash in to skip the main office line. The building definitely needs some love cosmetic wise. When you step in, it's a throwback for sure. But the kids and families overall seem to all enjoy during their visit. We definitely did. It's a great visit while it's cold out. This place is basically an indoor carnival filled with old school (and new) arcade games, huge indoor playground ($12 per kid), two-story carousel, indoor roller coaster, and another moderate speed spinning ride called the Himalaya. Based on other folks photos I spotted a Ferris wheel within the playground. Not sure if it's still there or functional though. Great toddler area where they have a bunch of games and coin-op rides. Some were super throwback. A few candle pin bowling lanes that's coin op too. Supposedly there's a Ferris wheel indoor too.. Good amount of parking--although it's a little rough shape so leave your Ferrari at home. Bring the mini van. They have hand sanitizer all around so keep the germs down. Enjoy and have a fun time.

Life jackets are provided of course and we have to sign waivers. The river route is so long and scenic and will definitely take hours. The staff are really helpful as well. My only complaint is that they only have fixed full day rental rate. I wish they also have half day rate for people who only wanna spend a short time. - 7.5/10

First stop: Edson Cemetery (about 10 minutes away) to visit his burial plot, which would prove to be more profound and interesting to me. (I'd recommend that and skipping this park, to be honest.) Lowell seems to be a town struggling and it was heartbreaking to see so many people suffering and asking for help at almost every corner as I tried to get here. Then when I got to the park itself there were a few homeless people on the outer benches which made me feel like an idiot when I pulled out my phone to document my visit. All that being said... I think it's cool (and meaningful) that 'Ti Jean' was given a memorial park in his hometown. The park's small. Some benches are spaced between concentric columns. There was also a ping-pong table as well as plenty of trees off to the side. Some of the columns that have etched quotes and tidbits regarding Kerouac are faded/damaged and hard to read. Parking was an issue. (Litter all around was another.) Even the most devoted fans of Sal Paradise might not dig coming here. (If I were much braver I would've loved to swing by Arthur's Diner across the street which looked EXACTLY like the kind of place the Beats would've frequented to ramble and rant and preach and maybe even do a bit of writing about their most recent experiences out and about in the world.)
