Open Space Projects

The City of Lowell Department of Planning and Development prioritizes and implements open space and park improvement projects in alignment with the Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP). The OSRP outlines the City's action plan for improving parks and open spaces through 2026, when the Plan will be evaluated through a community engagement process and updated in-line with the community's vision and goals. 

For inquiries related to current or upcoming open space projects, please reach out to openspace@lowellma.gov.
