Kincaid Park

Kincaide Park is located in Southwest Quincy, Massachusetts. The park spans 5.2 acres, offering a variety of recreational facilities for the local community.

Originally named for Henry L. Kincaide, a Colonel who served in the Spanish-American War and later became a successful Quincy businessman, the park has undergone recent renovations to enhance its features and ecological functions.

The park now incorporates stormwater management features, including improved soils and elevated topography, which help mitigate flooding issues in the area. These upgrades have increased the park's ecological productivity while maintaining its primary function as a sports and recreation facility.

Kincaide Park caters to various age groups and interests. It features both athletic fields and natural areas, providing a balance between organized sports and passive recreation. The park's design includes a trail that circles its perimeter, taking visitors through a series of ecological vignettes typical of New England landscapes.

The park's renovation was informed by community engagement, with neighbors expressing desires for a safe park that would appeal to all generations and encourage activity throughout the day and evening. To meet these needs, the park now includes amenities for different age groups and interests, as well as improved lighting for evening use.
