    Mountain View

    Really nice park to come for the day. I have only been here for the day use area, not camping so there are things I can't review or did not have access to. I do suggest purchasing the parking pass online as the lot can fill up quick and it can get crowded. The park sits on the beach lakeside to a beautiful glacial lake that is very clear blue and almost reminiscent of tropical waters. The mountain scenery is gorgeous. There are a lot of trees around which help provide some shade and a breeze. They offer boat rentals, a walking path around the lake, fishing area, picnic tables are there but limited playground for those with kids. The day use area has no restrooms as far as I saw only portable toilets. Overall it's a really nice accessible place! There are no long walks, it's a short distance from the lot to the beach so it's much more accessible for people with disabilities or health limitations.

    OK so it's clean and beautiful and serene and just perfect... until the massholes arrive... and it was bound to happen. The border creeps up year after year. I think Massachusetts ends a little above Manchester nowadays anyways. As a border hopper myself, I can understand the need to get away, but I just think its impossible nowadays. anyway- that's beside the point. I love it here. I brought a 6 month old and it was still perfect, minus the extraordinarily smelly bathrooms next to the store. I only went beaching for the day and loved it. We got there EARLY and thats the way to go. By 10 am, there were annoying camps of kids and the dude-guy massfolks that actually had the audacity to splash a wave of water into my infant son's face. Thats when we left. If you erase the people its a 5 star place. With the people its a 3, so lets meet in the middle since I love the place.

    The water doesn't get deep at all and it feels like a warm toilet! For the price it's not worth it at all!

    We stayed for 2 nights during covid and our only complaint would be about people not masking as the signs say, but you can't blame the park for that.

    This is a great little trail to take your kiddos on. There's a playground, a story walk (that…read morechanges monthly), beautiful water views and an easy to follow trail around the pond. If you take a little detour off the story walk, you'll even find a cool teepee shaped bunch of sticks leaning against a tree. Children love to explore this area. It's not so far off the path that you'd ever get lost. In between the first few pages of the story walk, when you have an opportunity to go straight, do so. I promise it's only a few feet down the path. Can't miss it!

    I wasn't expecting so much from this little park right off Route 302 (it's located on a dirt road…read morejust after the Westbrook Pool & Spa; there's a large granite sign at the mouth of the road, and you've probably passed it a million times - I know I have - but once you see it, you'll know exactly where this gem is forever)! Donnabeth Lippman Park - formerly known as Chaffin Pond Preserve - is 123 acre mostly wooded area that surrounds a 10 acre pond that's apparently great for fishing. I came here for a walk in the woods and was delighted to find that there was more than meets the eye: there's a family-friendly (you could easily take a stroller here - it's packed earth and not very root-y), totally accessible to all abilities, story book trail with a giant "Once Upon A Time" sign inviting you into the woods (how magical and fantastical is that?). Once you're finished, you can walk back to the parking lot from here via the yellow trail or you can take that same trail and follow it up alongside the pond, through the woods, then back down around the opposite side of the water (side note: I love loop trails - who wants to double back and see the same things?). A red trail deviates off to Mud Pond, and a green trail just adds an extended path through the forest before reconnecting to yellow. All of it is perfectly marked! It's a wonderful walking trail and if I lived nearby I could see this also being a solid spot for a good run! Admittedly, after heavy rain or during spring you should expect it to be quite muddy. No hunting allowed here, so it's a good spot for year round enjoyment (for those of you who are looking for a new snowshoeing spot!); there's an abundance of picnic tables overlooking the pond, a swing set, a big playground area, and plenty of green space to stretch out on. Again - what an unexpectedly great spot hidden in plain sight!

    The West End is a promenade that's located on the edge of an area called Brahmall Hill and is…read morecurrently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It's got beautiful and historical architecture with it's Victorian homes (and, apparently, former sea captain homes as well), stunning views of NH's White Mountains on clear days, spacious green areas and walking paths, a tree swing, the Western Cemetery fraught with our cities deceased wealthier ancestors, great walking areas, and it even once won an award from the Portland Phoenix for having one of the best secret spots to make-out in a tree (I kid you not). To me, the Western Prom is the established, composed, unruffled older sister (who's probably quite proper and likes garden parties) to the Eastern Prom. I'd like to think I've got a little West End in me, and it's fun to pretend I belong there when I'm picnicking and watching the planes come in and out of PWM from a distance. I've seen kiddos practicing lacrosse here with their dad, people relaxed under trees reading, friends playing a pick-up game of bocce while drinking something out of red solo cups. There used to be more events held here (... the legendary Halloween parade is not to be missed); so hopefully those concerts and outings begin to happen again!
