Perry Playground is a small and quiet playground that my kids and I enjoy going to. Located among houses in a neighborhood in the Highlands section of Lowell, it features two play structures plus a seesaw and a spring toy.

One structure has cube stairs, a tunnel, and a slide. The other has stepping stones, a bridge, and two slides.

The mulched playground is not entirely fenced in, but it is set back from the street a little bit. There is also a basketball court located in front of the park.

It’s never crowded when we go, and there is plenty of shade as well as a couple of benches. There are only a few parking spots at the front of the park, but parking is never really an issue since it’s never really crowded. We enjoy going to this park for a more laid back play experience and recommend checking it out!
