The park is a vast area that includes a variety of different baseball, softball, and soccer fields. The local Little League as well as other groups have games here during the summer months. The park also has a nice playground in addition to basketball and tennis courts. All the facilities are in excellent condition and the entire complex is very well maintained. It gets crowded during the summer months when Little League games are being played, but there is plenty of parking. The park is very safe and has lots of families use it but on a couple of occasions I did see what appeared to be high school or even younger kids drinking, smoking and being quite rowdy by the wooded area. Curiously they seemed to be taking pictures of each other in curious and rather licentious poses and didn't seem bothered that groups of people were fairly close. But they didn't seem to be a danger to anyone but themselves. Despite the young knuckleheads, the park is an excellent place to play or watch some sports. And no matter what you call the park, the wide variety of facilities assures that there is something for everyone here.

The scenery is perfect for photography and there is even an old (and I mean OLD) rusty car along one of the trails. That, to me, was the highlight of the park. My son is really into Hot Wheels and cars so it got him super excited to see this. That alone was worth the trip. If you are looking for a new trail to explore, definitely check out Village Park!

A very old…read morepark Kennedy Park in Fall River is a lovely 57 acre park that features huge wide open spaces and some lovely views of Mount Hope Bay from the top of some hills. The park certainly has been around for a long time. First designed in 1868 it was originally simply called South Park but had the name changed in 1963 after the assassination of President Kennedy. The park has plenty of ball fields, places for picnics and open spaces for all kinds of fun. It also has fireworks on the forth of July and is the home of numerous community events. In 1996 over 20,000 people crowded into the park to hear presidential candidate Bill Clinton speak and a religious event held every summer frequently attracts well over 100,000 people. A lovely park that has indeed been around for a long time and is still going strong. It offers so many different things for so many different people.

The big Red Slide is so cool If you can stand the smell of the "beach" it's okay to sit on as long as you're 25-30 feet away from the water. DO NOT SWIM HERE! Apparently, the water is run off, from the Taunton River. Which I was not aware of at the time, though I was not surprised, IT SMELLS SO DISGUSTING!! The water looks yucky. Not your typical beach water. I have raised 6 children, so I'm not extremely sensitive to smells, that being said, I literally threw up A small amount of my nausea could be blamed for the Heat, But I normally tolerate the heat fairly well. I really wish I had read the reviews BEFORE I went here. A friend recommended it. So I didn't feel the need to...NEVER AGAIN! Not only that, while I was sitting on the "beach" I noticed a huge amount of very small children (2-5year olds) in the water & barely anyone watching them. So I counted...51 children in the water & only 6 adults? Most sitting on the "beach" That is 8.5 children PER adult, on average. Some of them had life jackets on, which I wouldn't think they would need if they were being watched? There weren't really any waves Although, that's just my opinion. Personally, I would never have taken all 6 of my children to the beach alone. I would have had another adult come with us. I didn't hear any "loud Music" or anyone yelling, arguing, or see any fighting, like I read in other reviews. The picnic tables were mostly taken up by Birthday Parties. Also, there is no where to change a baby, & only 2 toilets per gender. So plan accordingly! ‍I definitely expected better from Somerset!

Signs around the entryway state that fishing, boating, swimming and camping are strictly prohibited. But ever since I was a child I always wondered what the old Medieval looking ruin had to offer the not so faint of heart. Now as an adult literalist, I interpret the absence of a no trespassing order as something akin to an invitation. One side of the structure can be seen on the right while driving north on Route 24 coming from 195. Take exit 5 and follow Eastern Avenue then take a left onto New Boston Road. At the end, turn left onto Willow Street which turns into Ruth Street (over the freeway) and then Meridian Street (in a very short distance). Park on Hannah Street or Bergeron Street and then walk back toward whence you drove and go around the left of the fence across the road. What awaits you on the other side is a lonesome path long neglected over time. Weeds and trees flourish between cracks in the crumbling asphalt. Once past the noise from the street, an eerie quiet sets in. A short walk will lead you to the northern shores of the pond. Continue along and watch for the ruins on the right. Inside you will find excellent photo opportunities and a remarkable example of structural decay and a forest gradually reclaiming lost ground. Vines ensnare the surrounding trees and creep alongside the walls of the massive building. The colossal inner chambers are full of trees and enormous stones that have given way to time. Interesting exterior brickwork nestled among stones can be seen as one moves along the southern edge of the building closer to the shore. One wall bears the scar of what may have been a large lightning strike. Most of the walls have soaring vacancies in the stonework that may have once held windows or doors. Sadly, there is some graffiti, but it's a minor distraction in such an exciting place. After you've had your fill of the ruins, continue along the path and feel the eyes of the forest upon you. Low walls of stone accompany you throughout most of your journey and it would be difficult to get lost. Bear left when the path splits about a half mile after you've gone over the causeway (it can be difficult to discern) and you will eventually return to Meridian Street. Do NOT forget your camera!

There's several fields for baseball as well as a playground for the kids. However, the playground is well abused and not the best in the area.

I'm sure things will be getting an improvement here with the new school construction underway.
