Many people walk their dogs here, so poop is common but its not so bad that I don't come back. They let the grass grow tall throughout the summer allowing many birds and other small creatures to live there. Then they cut it short for the winter. Paths stay fairly clear, though they can get muddy after rain. Don't wear your best shoes here! Some paths head into the woods around the edge, so bring your bug repellent. My favorite part of the park is the rocks by the water and the grand view of the bay and the Standish Monument sticking up out of the trees in the distance.

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! 5 STARS! THIS IS ONE OF MASSACHUSETTS BEST KEPT SECRET HIDDEN GEMS WITH FREE…read moreADMISSION & FREE PARKING! We liked it here so much we came back TWICE! Jenney Pond Park looks like it's in some movie from some make believe town with a Picture Perfect New England setting. This place is Fantastic for Picnics, Walks, Connecting with Nature & Wildlife & De- Stressing & Relaxing. It's just a 2 minute car ride from The Mayflower Ship & Plymouth Rock yet feels like you are hours away. It's completely hidden. The property is 13 acres large, open to the public & has 0.3 miles of public trails. We stumbled onto this hidden gem after parking here to go the Plimoth Grist Mill. After exiting the Grist Mill we walked back to the car & decided to explore. When we saw the fall foliage & picnic area & green grass that was enough to realize this is where we were going to have lunch. We went to one of the top rated restaurants in town Dillion's Local just a few minutes away & got some really good Food to go & eat here. What a beautiful setting to have lunch & see the fall foliage, The Picnic Area, the Walkway, the Pond & the Wildlife & the old wooden bridge. It looks like one of those fake Calendar Pictures but this place is real. We walked all around & saw all the White Swans, Ducks & other Birds. We were completely captivated by this one beautiful white swan that was Cleaning up the Environment & clearing away greenery in the pond - Pretty Amazing! . Now you can come here for Free & have a picnic & walk all around. Be sure to walk across the street & see the Plimoth Grist Mill with its 14 foot tall Water Wheel & Waterfall. It's Beautiful. You have to purchase a Ticket to actually go inside the Mill. But you can get up close for Free right next to the Mill & even visit their tiny gift shop which they sell locally sourced regional Cape Cod products & their own corn milled on the premises. The Grist Mill is only open on the Weekends & Holidays. If you are going to go inside the Grist Mill I recommend that you purchase a Heritage Weekend Pass to see The Grist Mill, The Mayflower Ship & The Plimoth Plantation. You'll Save some Money. Now we could not do all the things we wanted to do in Plymouth in one day so we had to come back the next day to complete our journey. No complaints - because it just gave us another reason to have lunch here again. This time we brought our own Food in a Cooler & enjoyed the picturesque Fall Setting once again. This place is great year round with different wildlife at different seasons. In the spring, herring can be seen going up the fish ladder by the Grist Mill on their way to Billington Sea to spawn. I love places like this that you completely stumble upon & end up being some of the best moments of your trip & it cost NOTHING! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have The Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've Been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like A King On A Limited Budget!

There are basketball courts, a baseball field, 2 tennis courts and a pretty nice playground overlooking the beach and ocean. It's a fantastic place to take a kayak out or do some fishing. There a slightly rocky beach that gradually goes into the ocean. This is clearly a local spot and even though it is less than 5 minutes from Plymouth Rock it was nearly empty on a Sunday afternoon. It's pet friendly and there were multiple dogs jumping in the ocean and running around. There are also some restrooms if needed. There was no parking fee either.

Brewster Gardens is a Free Park with metered parking across the street…read more It is located just down the street from the Mayflower II Ship & is a short walk from Plymouth Rock & Plymouth Memorial Park. It is directly across from Cole's Hill. This tranquil peaceful park was created during the early 1920's. The area encompasses the original garden plot granted to Elder William Brewster in 1620. The Pilgrims settled here because of the abundance of fresh water & the many springs. Another reason why they settled here was there's also thatch that grew along the water's edges that provided necessary roofing materials for houses. There are bronze statues & sculptures here honoring Plymouth's immigrant settlers. The bridge with the water flowing beneath it from the Town Brook is a beautiful little area to just sit, chill & relax. There are benches, green grass, trees & flowers & is very picturesque. This is a great place to have a picnic. While we were there a wedding party was taking all kinds of pictures in this lush green landscape. A great scenic place to have your lunch or just to meander.

You can take a photo but a selfie is very challenging. We had a brief stop here on our organized tour after leaving Boston. We ate lunch nearby and walked down to the park. Nice restrooms and plenty of seats where you can enjoy the water. There's a replica of Mayflower II built and sailed from England. It's a working vessel. Its last voyage was in 1957. It's in the National Register of Historic Places.

We recently stayed at Myles Standish State Forest on site J26 in the Barretts Pond loop, and…read moreunfortunately, it wasn't quite what we expected. The site itself is situated at the top of a steep hill, which is not ideal if you have a car that sits low to the ground, our vehicle bottomed out trying to park, making it basically unusable for us in that spot. To make matters worse, the path to the site doubles as an access point to another campsite. So even if you could manage to park there, chances are high that your neighbors will end up parking in that same pathway, making it extremely difficult--if not impossible--for you to get to your site conveniently. It definitely felt like the layout of this area wasn't thought through for ease of access. The bathrooms in this loop left a lot to be desired. During our stay, they were extremely dirty and, at one point, there were a few hours without water or electricity. That said, there were a few positives. The small swimming pond in this section of the campground was actually quite charming. It's private to those staying at the loop, which makes it feel peaceful and far less crowded compared to other parts of the forest that have public access. It was nice to be able to relax there without the usual campground chaos. Overall, the serenity of the area was nice, but the site setup, parking issues, and bathroom conditions really took away from the experience. If you're considering this loop, especially site J26, I'd recommend looking into alternative spots within the forest that might be easier to access and are better maintained. I've been coming here for years and have had many experiences both good and bad. Check-in can take awhile, and lines can get long which is brutal in the heat, then your met with some people at the counters with attitudes that leave more to be desired. I'm sure there are better places to camp, but it is a staple.

I saw the signs and didn't know what it was until I stumbled across the building one day. Yes, there is a prison facility in these woods!!

Every time I walk it, I notice something new! Many people refer to this as 'Grace's Trail,' and throughout the walk, you'll notice positive affirmation stones for all to reflect on.

During the spring and summer, beautiful flowers are in bloom, and benches are available to relax. If you start at Nelson Park and go to the very end by Cordage Park, it's about a 3-mile round trip. The sunsets here are spectacular, but be careful as the trail is not lit at night! Enjoy everyone!

The pool is only 3ft deep which is perfect for adults to relax and they have a bench all around the perimeter. There is an ice cream stand and a food shack.

Our 13 year old boys enjoyed the weekend fishing, riding bikes, and playing basketball in the pool. Quiet hours start at 11 pm and I felt like the staff were reasonable with enforcing the rules but not being over the top.
