Armory Park Splash Pad opened as part of a completed 2024 park improvement project in Lowell's Lower Highlands. The splash area sits between the playground and community garden, making it a good pick for mixed-age siblings and short summer outings. The city project page specifically notes ADA-compliant access from the parking lot to the playground plus accessible benches and picnic tables. This is a simple municipal splash-pad stop rather than a large destination spray park, but the surrounding park context makes it more useful for families than a stand-alone water feature.
