Lincoln Grove Park is at 224 Broadway Street between Grove Street. It is surrounded by Victorian houses plus the Saint Patrick’s Rectory. In 1922 this became a playground of Chicopee having been private land before that. About 1928 the playground changed into a park. It had a tennis court and a baseball diamond but was to become a park only.
