Worcester Common Oval is a public park and event space located in the heart of Worcester, Massachusetts. Originally established in the 1830s as part of the city’s common land, the Oval has served various purposes throughout its history, including as a training ground for military exercises and a site for public gatherings.

The Oval underwent significant renovations in recent years to improve its accessibility and functionality as an outdoor performance venue, including upgraded stage facilities and improved landscaping.
