My dog and I love it here. Lots of great clean trails.

A True Worcester Gem! I just love Beaver Brook Park, it's such a fantastic spot for pretty much everyone. In the summer, the splash pad is an absolute lifesaver for the kids. They can run around for hours and cool off, and the adjacent playground is great too, with plenty of stuff to keep them busy. But it's not just for families. The walking paths are really nice for a relaxing stroll, and there's a ton of open green space. It's perfect for a picnic or just throwing a frisbee around on a nice day. The whole park is always really clean and well-maintained, which is a huge plus. It just has a great, friendly neighborhood feel. Whether you're looking to entertain the kids, play with your pets or just get some fresh air, Beaver Brook is definitely one of the best spots in the city. We love it here!

Was not able to actually go into this park, since entrance is restricted to members only. Seemed to be a nice, multi-level park on a hillside. Lots of grass. Dog washing station at the exit (hose and pool) but I am disappointed that we couldn't visit without registration I believe that dog parks should be public and free
