    Overall when you look at it as a whole it's a decent park but it's also in need of rehab especially…read morethe basketball court and childrens playground areas. The town really should look into updating it and maybe adding more lights and cameras. The last time I went there was graffiti all over the playground and looked like someone smudged peanut butter all over it. I also feel as if it should have some sort of gate around it because there has been a few occasions when I'm brought my children and saw a random dog walking around and there's really nothing to help protect small kids. Add some seating as well maybe a little picnic area for visitors to our beautiful town to sit and relax and enjoy the outdoors. Fairhaven has been having more and more new businesses opening a lot more money has been coming in so it's times to update anything and everything to highlight our historical and beautiful town

    A park to…read moreplay Cushman Park is a pleasant park tucked away near the center of Fairhaven. A decent size park, it looks small driving by but once you start walking around you can see that is have quite a bit of space. This is definitely a park for doing stuff, lots of baseball fields, football areas, basketball hoops and playgrounds. Even a nice running track for those people that like to run in circles. Parking is where ever you can find it but they is always some place open. Just might not be exactly where you want. It does get pretty crowded in the nice weather but because the park is spacious you can always find a place for yourself. A coo neighborhood type of park that has a whole lot of stuff to do for both kids or adults. A nice place to pass through or spend some time while in Fairhaven

    A small path that…read more needs to grow Phoenix Bike path is a 3.5 mile bike path that was opened in 1999. It was built on the old New Haven railroad line that was built back in the 1850's. The path is paved with asphalt the entire way on is still smooth and easy to ride on. At three and a half miles the path is over before you know it but it does have some interesting views of the water, town and cool looking gigantic hurricane barrier. After biking the path you can also go down to Fort Phoenix or ride south to West Island, which would add another 15 or 20 miles to your journey. Because of the path's proximity to the ocean there are few hills or curves and it's a good place for kids, older people or folks with disabilities to get some biking in. I see quite a few of the adult three wheel bikes and wheelchairs are common. Not a place to ride if you want to go warp nine but it is a very relaxing and pleasant little trip. I keep hearing about plans that they want to extend the path west through the towns of Mattapoisett and Marion all the way to Wareham and eventually to the Cape Cod Canal. That would be a fantastic trip and a great achievement. Of course I hear about lots of plans for bike paths but few actually seem to be completed. Hopefully this will be action and not just grandiloquent verbiage. We shall see.

    Coast Guard Park

    New Bedford may not be on too many people's lists of places they must visit when in Massachusetts,…read morebut we like the town a lot. And no trip to New Bedford would be complete without a drive down to the waterfront where the heart of the town's fishing history, now spanning 3 centuries, lives. It's down by the commercial fishing piers where you'll find the Coast Guard park. Although it's a "pocket" park in size it's worth the stop to pay one's respects at the Lightship Sailors Memorial. A lightship is an anchored vessel affixed with a light that acts a warning beacon and a guide to ships at sea. Essentially, it's a ship that acts as a lighthouse. The Vineyard Lightship sank in the Hurricane of 1944 and all 12 men aboard perished one mile west of Cuttyhunk. The men aboard were fighting 100 mile winds and 20 foot seas that night and although they sent messages ashore to the Woods Hold Coast Guard station, those messages were filled with static and misunderstood, leaving potential rescuers to erroneously believe the sailors were successfully riding out the storm. This Coast Guard Memorial honors the service of all lightship sailors, but it's the names of the Vineyard Lightship men that are etched on the side of the granite memorial. Atop the memorial sits the fog bell from the Vineyard Lightship. After this moving bit of history, take a walk down the piers to take in the amazing display of fishing boats. It's these boats in particular that the lightships aim to guide. If you want to talk about a tough day at work, being a lobsterman, scalloper or shrimper would make most other complaints seem meager. These working boats are a sight to behold. They are incredible structures but nothing fancy about them. It's all work. Up close you can see the machinery and conditions in which these tough and scrappy fisherman work. I know there is a lot of controversy over the commercial fishing industry from both sides. Nonetheless, these men and women are doing a job that for those of us who eat seafood, puts food we love on the table. I try to think of these boats and fishermen whenever I sit down to a seafood meal. A trip to the New Bedford Harbor and the Coast Guard Park helps put the lives of both fishermen and Lightship sailors, so inextricably entwined, in perspective.

    A really nice park to just relax. Maybe it was the time of year I went but the weather was awesome…read moreand the trees were just turning color. Windy and cool out during October. I almost fell asleep !! Tip - plenty of inexpensive parking in the parking garage a block away.
