Saint Louis Sponge Park is being rebuilt as a stronger inclusive play destination with a universally accessible playground, poured-in-place rubber surfacing, and a splash pad. The official city project page shows the playground equipment was installed and the project is expected to be complete in June 2026, so this is best treated as an active listing with construction timing clearly noted. Once fully open, it should be one of Lowell's most compelling accessible outdoor play options for mixed-age visits.
