South Worcester Playground, also known as Harry Sherry Field, also known as Maloney Field. This 5-acre park located on Cambridge Street became a park in 1986. It is the home of the South Worcester Baseball league, featuring two baseball fields, a soccer area, two handball courts, a basketball court, a playground, the Camp Street Community Garden, and the South Worcester Neighborhood Center.
This park has so much to offer, and will have even more to offer after the city implements the changes from its 2015 master plan. They are planning on adding more handball courts, replacing the playground, adding a volley ball area, and walking paths, among numerous other facility improvements.
This park is so Worcester, with so many things going on at once – almost suiting every interest – bounded by one of the city’s busiest streets (which is lined with three deckers), railroad tracks, and St. John’s Cemetery.
