A small park with a…read more big purpose. Trinity Park is a small park located right in the middle of Oak Bluffs. A nice place for a stroll or to view the cottages but the real reason the park exists is because of the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle is a massive open air structure. I'm not sure what the official term for this type of building is, but it's sort of a permanent tent but made of steel and iron. It is huge, over 100 feet high, holds over 3,000 people and is the largest structure of it's kind in the country. It was built back in 1879 to hold the revival meetings of the people that would meet at Oak Bluffs and is presently on the National Register of Historical Buildings. It's now used for Sunday services, community song alongs on Wednesday nights and various concerts throughout the summer. Mostly local performers but some famous artist like James Taylor, Tom Paxton and Bonnie Raitt have been here. Even though it's not used for it's original purpose it still is awe inspiring to walk through. Even though it protects you from the elements, it still gives the feeling of being outside. The acoustics are surprising good and it is a extremely pleasant place to see a concert. With the giant stage or altar and the beautiful stain glass windows, huge beams and massive size it's enough to give some religion, if only for a moment, to the most hardened heathen.

We always visit Spohr Gardens when we are in Falmouth. It was almost our next door neighbor when we…read morelived there. In fact Mr. Spohr was just building it then and we always stopped by to chat with him. He really enjoyed showing off his great finds to our 1-1/2 year old son who was totally engaged in what he was doing with these huge stones and iron ships' parts. For historical context, that son is now 47 years old and has come back repeatedly through his childhood and adulthood, originally with us but also on his own. His younger brother did not have the opportunity to see it then as I was only pregnant with him at the time, but he has been back with us over the years and has learned to love it too. But he has not had the opportunity to visit that area since he was finished with college and left the east coast permanently. The Gardens were left to a trust by Charles Spohr's will and the Town of Falmouth and the Trust still protect it and still use it for education. It supports itself with donations and allowing events like weddings to take place on the premises. The walk along the path on the shore of Oyster Pond is truly beautiful all times of year. The trees surrounding it in color in the fall, the swans on the lake in summer, the blooming flowers like we saw this August, are all magnificent. The anchors, the bollards, the grist stones laid out through the place, are so interesting that I still take the same pictures every time I can come here. The old dock where our son used to toss pebbles into the pond has been refurbished several times over the years and recently was rebuilt to a higher safety standard to be a perfect wedding setting. I never tire of visiting. It is free to walk in but it's nice to leave a donation by the entrance. Parking is very limited but there is a small lot and a few spaces along the residential street

It's on a sliver of land between several major streets in Edgartown and is a place well known but seldom visited. The park is dominated by a huge obelisk with the names of soldiers on it as well as some cool quotes. Several large old cannon are also present as well as several stacks of big, old cannonballs which give the park it's name. Lots of trees and bushes as well as a couple of benches are in the park which makes it a nice little place for a quick rest and reflection before heading on into the center on town. Certainly not a large park, you can walk around it in a few minutes but it's fun to take some time and check out the obelisk and civil war artifacts. A cool little place that helps remember and celebrate the sacrifices made by the people of the island in preserving the nation during a horrible war.

Situated between lovely old residential homes and the grounds of Hope High School, this space has much to offer. The typical jungle gym activities, sandbox, and traverse-the-netting areas are all done very nicely. Add to that a legitimate climbing and gymnastics ring area, and you have something a cut above. Add to THAT a lovely community garden area, and you begin to get the picture of Brown Street Park. This spot transcends "so nice I want to keep it to myself" status into "this Providence jewel is so good, the word needs to be spread." Please enjoy!
