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!
