Most of the trees are pines so the hiking is very soft because of the pine needles, and the smell of the pine trees and ocean mixing together is wonderful. Scrago Lake is a whole lot warmer than the always cold as @#$% direct ocean beaches of Cape Cod Bay and usually much, much calmer. A nice place to bring the family and little kids when you don't want them to drown, get washed out to sea, or get eaten by giant kraken. There is a fee for parking cars during the summer but if you happen to know someone in the area they'll probably have a sticker and you can bum a ride with them. There is no charge if you bike or walk and in the off season you can park anywhere you want. A lovely and peaceful little area that is a very pleasant place to explore, take a short and easy hike or perhaps do some swimming. A great place to spend some time and energy no matter what the season.

I didn't get to ride the entire thing, since I had to turn back to catch the train home to Boston, but I'd like to come back and ride it in full. Great alternative to the Minuteman if you're looking to get outside the city and bike somewhere with less people. Most of the trail there isn't a ton to see, but there are some cool areas (views of the water, golf courses, etc.). That being said, I didn't make it past Brewster (started in Hyannis), so I'm not sure what's beyond that point. I'd come back for sure!

There is also a playground as well bringing on the energy for the youngsters. The park even has a path, branching and beginning right off the CCRT, leading to the playground, and then past that, loops around the baseball and soccer field, with another trail branching off, leading to the entrance and the playground once again. The walk is quite enjoyable, with nice views all around. The bathroom though needs to get touched up, in terms of it being dirty.

There is a connected playground with areas for 2-5 year olds and 5-10 year olds. Really fun and interactive features like pirate ships, spinning features, and slides. The entire play area is rubber so you don't have to worry about falls or wood chips. There is a nice grassy and shaded area in the middle to set up chairs and a picnic. A few tables are available but with no shade. You are also next to a dog park, hiking trails, basketball courts, baseball fields, and tennis courts. There is something for the entire family. Highly recommend!

Bring a packed lunch, a dry set of clothes for the kiddos and a book to read while your kids live their best lives. Also, a lot of the local moms frequent here often and they were very friendly! We will be back :)

Even with no events going on, this is a great place to rest and take in the beautiful spot. There are two entrances to the park, on Main Street and also Chatham Bars Ave.

Picture a lovely summer night when the park is filled with families sitting on blankets, dancing, balloons, after a visit to the nearby Candy Manor and a live band playing for 90 minutes. I've been coming to Chatham since I was a baby and the BEST thing about this particular park is the free band concerts that are held here. According to the Chatham Band website, they just finished up their 85th year of performing concerts. The bandstand is named after Whitney "Whit" Tileston, who was one of the popular band leaders and the one I remember the most from my childhood. Whit passed away back in 1995, so it's nice to see this memorial to him! There is a small parking lot next to the bandstand, by the Impudent Oyster, but that will likely be filled when in season. If you don't mind a walk, I recommend parking behind Ben Franklin or by Yankee Ingenuity. The park is kind of quiet most of the year, but it's a nice place to take a break when you are strolling through this quaint New England town. There are some benches spread throughout the park. Thankfully, the town has added a building adjacent to the park with public restroom facilities.
