Ell Pond Park Feasibility Study

The City of Melrose has hired Weston & Sampson to conduct a feasibility study for the Ell Pond Park property. The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify necessary improvements to existing park facilities and features. Ell Pond Park is a 19.1-acre active and passive recreational facility that surrounds Ell Pond in Melrose. The land to the north of Ell Pond is utilized by the Melrose School Department during school hours, while the Melrose Parks Department manages and maintains the property year round and assigns usage after school hours for the 1.5-acre passive park along Lynn Fells Parkway. The facilities within Ell Pond Park include the Melrose Skate Park, Lewis-Monk Little League Field, Richard D. Lyons Tennis Courts, West Knoll Field, Memorial Knoll, Melrose Dog Park, the Cabbage Patch Field, the Crystal Street Tennis Courts, and the Knoll parking lot (see map below).
