About the Venue

Mulligan Park Splash Pad is an official City of Lowell splash-pad location inside a neighborhood park also known as Avenue A Playground. The park includes a playground, picnic area, greenspace, basketball court, volleyball court, and wiffleball field, so it works especially well for families planning a casual warm-weather stop rather than a destination water outing. The official recreation listing places it in Lowell's Lower Highlands and notes that park areas are generally accessible from dawn to dusk year-round, with management through the Parks Department. Families who like simple public splash spots with extra room to play will likely find this one useful.
