Worcester’s Parks and Recreation Commission has approved a master plan to update the park at Bell Pond, with changes planned for its entrance, basketball court, beach access and playground, according to MassLive.
The plan brings several parts of the park into the same proposed makeover. It calls for a new entrance and improved access to the beach, alongside expansions of two recreation areas.
What the plan includes
The basketball court would be enlarged to NBA dimensions. The playground also would be expanded, making both existing features part of the park’s planned improvements.
For the waterfront, the plan identifies better beach access as a priority. A new park entrance is another component of the approved design framework.
The commission’s action approves a master plan; the supplied account does not establish when the individual improvements would be built. It also does not provide a project budget, funding details or a construction schedule.
Those details remain outside the available report, which identifies the four planned upgrades but does not describe their specifications beyond the basketball court’s intended size.
