Lake View Playground is a neighborhood park is located on Lake View Street, which is off from Lake Ave. It is located directly across from Lake View Elementary School.

The intricacies of the park land itself make it an interesting property. While Lake View Playground is overseen by the Parks Department and listed as a city park, since 1952 it has been leased for $1 per year from the Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester under tenancy at will. This makes any large scale upgrades like capital improvements questionable, because of the confusing ownership situation.

Lakeview Playground is also located along Agate Street and Lake View Streets, which are two of the first streets developed in this neighborhood – officially termed the Lake View neighborhood. Jesse Johnson Coburn moved to Worcester by way of Vermont and California and was one of the first to see the potential of Lake Quinsigamond for leisure and summer activity. Following this vision, he purchased and developed much of the area. He purchased Ramshorn Island (which is also currently a city park) and the area that is now Lincoln Park Tower. He gave property to churches and schools, some of which the Lake View Congregational Church ended up leasing to the city to provide Lakeview Playground.

Lakeview Playground features a playground in adequate shape, a swing set, a half basketball court, and ample room for a game of catch or a picnic.
