One of the most beautiful spots in the Highlands neighborhood of Lowell is Tyler Park, located along Westford Street on the way to Drum Hill. For quite a few years now, a group of neighbors has joined together as the Friends of Tyler Park, to supplement the city’s maintenance of the park and to host events – outdoor concerts mostly – to both bring people together at the park and to raise funds to benefit the site.

Membership is open to anyone and the annual fee is just $15. To participate, just send a check in that amount to “Friends of Tyler Park, c/o Denise Cognac, 151 Dartmouth Street, Lowell MA 01851.” Even if you don’t choose to join, mark your calendar with the three upcoming outdoor concerts at Tyler Park, all from 6 pm to 8 pm. The dates are June 20, July 18 and August 15. The Friends of Tyler Park maintain a Facebook page with further information.
