Basketball Court (Outdoor)
Park at Fort Point
This great little neighborhood park, is situated at on of the most picturesque spots in all of Gloucester. It offers fairly new playgorund equipment, out door basketball and baenches that line a walkway that runs along the waters edge. Sweeping views of outer Gloucester Harbor make this a great place to observe many kinds of boat traffic, Gloucester's Ten Pound Island and the mouth of the Annisquam River.
Pavilion Beach is a great family beach located directly next to this park. It's well maintained and a great safe place to take a swim - so don't forget the beach toys!

Dix Park
This is the only park in Beverly Farms. It serves as an important resource for the neighborhood, providing recreational and open space opportunities located near the Farms’ downtown area. The park is below street level on Haskell Street with steps that lead visitors to the play structures and fields. Due to its low elevation, flooding can often be a problem. New equipment for pre-school and elementary school aged children was installed in 2001 and Beverly’s Department of Public Services made drainage improvements to alleviate some of the flooding issues in 2008.
