Rogers Fort Hill Park

Probably the prettiest and most peaceful park in Lowell. Great for a vigorous «climb» to the top, enjoying the view, a casual walk or just sitting and relaxing

I like this park. Less busy then shedd park. Water fountain. Nice steap hill to the top of the hill offers lovely view of Lowell skyline.

Amazing park for a great hike and to get away from the city, while not leaving the city!

I wouldn’t have known about this place if I hadn’t done a Unilocal search for hiking in Lowell. I brought my girls here — it’s just right for kids. It’s pretty and it’s not very challenging (a hill and small) and it’s just down the street from On The Road Coffee House — a place that sells all-​fruit smoothies.

This is a great park. It’s one of the only areas of Lowell where you can actually «climb» a hill, although with all the trees in summer you won’t get much of a view ;)
You can catch glimpses of the mountains of New Hampshire if yoou’re lucky though. The park is about 35 acres, 22 of which are wooded, meaning unkept. There are some awesome old gnarly trees growing in there, and lots of birch and maple I think.
It’s a great palce to get away from «the city» and be in nature for awhile. I didn’t see any facilities like playgrounds or bathrooms, so if you bring kids, make ‘em pee ahead of time, and bring some toys or something.
No dogs allowed in the wooded area according to a sign, but we saw dogs (on leashes) in there anyway. It felt so good to be up high again after living in Colorado, even though the hike to the «summit» only takes about 5 minutes.
BONUS: just down the street is a hand-​held car wash with vacuums.
Part of the Belividere neighborhood, this park is definitely worth a visit at least once per season just to see how it changes. There’s a paved trail to the top of the hill so you don’t have to climb through the woods unless you want to.
BONUS 2: Geocaching spots nearby…
