  • Since the mid-20th century, Prospect Park has served as the heart of communal and recreational life in Acton. The Park has hosted many events, including annual company picnics for the former Beardmore and Co., fairs, sporting events, family outings, and holiday celebrations. Improvements have been made to the Park over the years, with significant projects including the redevelopment of the play area, a new sports field, ball diamonds, and upgrades to existing buildings. This unique cultural heritage landscape, with its natural setting on Fairy Lake, has helped to preserve its historical role as a recreational and cultural landmark within the community of Acton.
