Historic neighborhood on Worcester’s west end
The Beaver Brook neighborhood on Worcester’s west end is best known for its eponymous Beaver Brook Park, a public green space that has activities and outdoor amenities for all ages. Historically, Beaver Brook was an area where industrial workers of color settled in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as documented by photographer William Bullard. In the mid-20th century, several of the area’s homes were bought and demolished by industrial companies with plans to expand, and those lots currently sit vacant. Still, many examples of historical architecture remain, and Beaver Brook’s residents maintain their community spirit at the park that anchors the neighborhood.
Beaver Brook Park, houses the Ted Williams Little League and the Worcester Vikings youth football program.

All kinds of sports for all kinds of kids at Beaver Brook Park
Beaver Brook Park is a nearly 20-acre outdoor space. “There are wonderful activities within Beaver Brook Park,” says Brian Allen, a sales associate with Rubric Commercial who specializes in selling multifamily properties throughout Worcester. “There’s a dog park, basketball courts, and, on the other side, there are recreation fields for youth sports.” Ted Williams Little League players compete under baseball diamond lights, the Worcester Vikings youth football program uses the multipurpose field and the Worcester Renegades Youth Street Hockey team skates on the park’s outdoor rink. There are playgrounds on each corner of Beaver Brook Park; the city’s East-West Trail, a 14-mile route through Worcester's urban and green spaces, crosses the park; and the Beaver Brook Dog Park has sections for large and small breeds. Across the street, Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium hosts high school football games, while the Strike Zone batting cages on Mann Street are where some young baseball and softball players train. The neighborhood is also near Elm Park and Newton Hill, two of the city’s most popular outdoor spaces.
