boarding house park

The Lowell Summer time Musical Series is performed on this park, the place is designed with different levelas and people bring their own chairs or blankets to enjoy the performances. The price is reasonable and many times they have free music too.

We've been here a few times over the years, and have seem Shakespeare in the Park to past and current musicians. It's all outdoors, so you need to get there as early as possible to get grass by the stage if you wish. Parking is close in a parking garage for a small fee. Bring blankets and sand chairs to mark your spot. You can walk around the street vendors for something to drink and eat. It's a lovely spot on the right night.

A great venue, the best music with the best variety. You get such a superb sampling of all cultures. The music is wonderful and the food is pretty good as well and you enjoy it with a lot of like minded folks.

Great, intimate summer concert venue. Bring your own chairs or picnic blanket on 3-4 tiers of grassy lawn and a great stage. I've been to 5-6 shows here and it's been an amazing night every time. I've heard they have a kids series too in the mornings which has gotten positive reviews from Moms.

Totally enjoyed a memorable evening last night at Gregg Allman Band show, preceded by Jaimoe's Jasssz Band (more blues than jazz). Both shows were great. We had been at this venue for Herbie Hancock, in the past, and really love this place. I honestly think it depends on what show you go to. We had VIP tickets for this show and had called the Box Office in advance to see whether VIP seats were pre-identified. They are not. We were told the park would be open at 2:00 p.m. to claim your seat. We did this, as did others, and it worked out just fine. We did note that pretty much the entire lawn was already staked out with blankets and chairs that people were able to place at 7:00 a.m.! I felt bad for those who thought they could come later and get a good seat. In the VIP section, we had the great fortune of having Steve as our executive security person. He provided a wealth of information, was truly professional and vigilant in removing seat crashers. A really great guy! We did witness a couple of disturbances, one in which someone who had placed their blanket early at the front, left, and then had someone come and squeeze onto a postage-stamp size of grass in front of them (I think they moved the fence to accomplish this). I don't think it's a great idea to come, stake out a spot, and then come back at the last minute. It leaves you vulnerable for this type of squatter. I actually had the opportunity, while walking around before the showing to sit with Dave, bass player for Jaimoe's band, and have a brilliant conversation. Very memorable! The only correction I think should take place at this venue is better training for a couple of young security kids near the merchandise table at the end of the show. One of these guys was abusing his power a bit and very unnecessarily using very profane language in asking people to step back. I finally told him to stop with the language as there were young children present. He did abide briefly but resumed thereafter. Very bad representation for park security given the park's amazing encouragement of having children under the age of 12 attend free. This security person did not have the maturity to handle this type of position. I would urge whomever hires these young men to do a better job training them or put them in less powerful roles. I felt bad for the parents whose children were subjected to this very poor behavior.
