Bailey Brook Park in Gardner MA another Chair City Amenity

In our recent interview with Gardner Mayor Michael Nicholson he stated, “The Bailey Brook Park also is home to our new age 5 and under playground. That’s the first playground that’s meant for infant to 5 year old ….at Bailey Brook Park, we now have pickleball courts. That’s the first time the cities had pickleball options available, something other than basketball.”

According to the City of Gardner, “Bailey Brook Park & Conservation Area is a 121 acre site located off Leo Drive. The City submitted a PARC grant application in FY20 to design and develop an open space, multipurpose park and conduct site work associated with site access driveways, parking, construction of an ADA accessible trail, and 1-mile, healthy-heart, wellness walking loop trail with a scenic overlook and sitting & resting area. Both trails will include interpretive nature learning signage and other experiential, nature-based learning components. The accessible, ADA compliant trail will also include tactile, sensory, playground equipment elements for nature-based play and learning for children with social-emotional learning and development disabilities.” For more information from the City of Gardner, CLICK HERE.
