McConnell Park is a 6.2-acre Savin Hill ballfield complex dating to 1899, rebuilt for $7.1 million with climate-resilience features (a raised site, a granite flood-protection wall, stormwater-retaining parking islands) alongside new Little League and softball fields. It sits next to the Harborwalk and Savin Hill Beach.
