Blackstone Gateway Park is located approximately three miles south of the Worcester Downtown Business District on the edge of the Quinsigamond Village neighborhood. 

This new riverfront park stands out as a unique urban park in the City providing recreational amenities while maintaining the feel of a forested park surrounded by flowing water and stands of large canopy trees. Be sure to visit during the Fall as well to take in the picturesque foliage!

The Blackstone Heritage Corridor Visitor Center is a full service, multi-use facility, featuring a welcoming area, historic and cultural exhibits, a theater, restroom facilities, an adjacent passive recreation lawn and office, classroom and function space.

The Visitor Center also houses the Central Region Headquarters for the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation. As such, it offers a regional launching point for the exploration of the state park system in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as the Blackstone River Bikeway and Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary.
