   This gorgeous area of Lowell boasts the Lowell Dog Park, a furrific dog park that is secluded and fenced in. There’s benches here for owners to relax in, and clean up bags on site, but bring your own just in case. Do bring water, as none is available here. For more outdoor adventure, check out the Monsignor Keenan Park or Riverfront Park, both close by and with plenty of space to walk and explore. While across the river from downtown, take some time to stroll along the Merrimack River Trail and watch the birds on the water.

   If you‘re interested in learning some of the history of the Industrial Revolution as experienced by Lowell residents, then you will want to pack up your sweet friend and take him to the Lowell National Historic Park. While your dog can’t come inside the buildings with you, there is plenty of space to play with him outside. Make sure he stays on a leash and bring bags to clean up. After a history lesson, head to Tremonte Pizzeria, where you can sit outside at more than a dozen tables. Your dog will love a bowl of cold water after being at the National Historic Park! Kittridge Park is also in this neighborhood, and offers one acre with a playground, walking trails, and green space that is a great location to spend a free afternoon.
