Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.
From downtown Worcester
Take Rt. 122 N/Chandler Street to Tatnuck Square. At the 2nd set of lights at Pleasant Street, go straight onto Mower Street between Sovereign and Flagship banks. At the Y, bear right onto Olean Street, and look for the Cascading Waters sign 1/2 mile on your left.
From Holden
Take Route 31 S towards Paxton. Take a left onto Reservoir Street (when it splits from 31). Follow past all the reservoirs into Worcester. Cascading Waters is less than 1/2 mile from the city line on your right.

How much colder do you think it is, on average, at Cascading Waters vs. downtown? Because it's been cold in my neck of the woods, but it hasn't felt *that* cold.
I'd love to be more specific on that.
Anecdotally, we argue around 5 to 10 degrees cooler than downtown in the summertime. That is when we tend to check as heat waves make you very focused on minor differences in temperature.
We haven't done winter time spot checking of temperature. We can, and I am tempted looking around here to see if I have what would be necessary to pull it off reasonably accurately.
Ideally we would want to have a person who lives and or works downtown to take one of the sensors we use at the Lodge and for that person and a caretaker, via something like an appointed time or gmail chat, to do simultaneous readings.
Any volunteers in the 'urban core'?
