Discover Lowell’s waterways on this two-mile round-trip hike with shorter alternatives available. The walk is free and all are welcome to join us from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Do you love taking pictures as you travel? On Sunday, March 25th Wellness on the Walkways returns with a Photography Walk from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Join park rangers for an exploration of some fascinating downtown locations. On this walk, we will bring visitors to a variety of interesting downtown locations, talking about the history of the area and taking photographs along the way. Don’t forget your camera too.
We encourage everyone to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. Please bring plenty of water and snacks.
