Logan Field is another of Worcester’s parks with a name that belittles what it has to offer. This 11-acre park was purchased by the city in 1928, from the trustees of the Speedway Glens.
This park was named after James Logan, a Worcester mayor who served four years and was a ‘pioneer in the playground movement.’
This park just recently underwent some massive renovations. $400,000 in improvements were made, including a new basketball court and the reorienting of the Babe Ruth field and the addition of new amenities.
The Babe Ruth field was named for Marshall I. Silverman, a lifelong resident of Worcester who was heavily involved in youth baseball, dedicating 32 years of his life to coaching, managing, and being the league President youth baseball.
The trail up from Logan Field is a spur trail which connects to the East-West Trail at Tetassett Ridge and other GWLT properties like God’s Acre.
