A walking path, picnic area, basketball, racquetball, and a playground. The playground is large and has options for smaller kids and bigger kids. The best part is, it is in the shade!

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!

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.

I used to come here with my dad to go fishing so many MANY years ago so when we came back for my "…read moreomg I'm old" birthday I had to stop by. I lost my dad 7 years ago but as I was standing on the pier I could hear him yelling at me as if I were purposely catching puffer fish that he had to fight off the hook. Yes, I admit to getting teary eyed with nostalgia. It is a really cute beach with a nice jetty. The pier is great for high tide fishing and low tide viewing. The water is super clear with no snags or rocks to catch your line.

If I am to rate this beach it's simple, out of all the open ocean facing South Yarmouth beaches…read morethis is the one as a child I called the new beach because it was created last on this strip of beaches roughly a mile or so long. It sits at the opposite end from the free "first" beach and in between is what we always called the "swing" beach for obvious reason. This beach sits next to the Smugglers Beach motel which I think was changed to condos many years ago. The beach has a large boat ramp for launching boats and the ramp used to be free but now the town charges to launch. The beach itself also charges to park. Overall the largest beach and it sits at the mouth of Bass River and has a pier to fish from.

Gateway to the sea…read more Hyannis Harbor is frequently called to Gateway to the Sea. A bit of hyperbole perhaps since there are lots of other ways to get to the sea on Cape Cod but there is no mistaking that Hyannis does indeed have a nice harbor. One of the nicest area along the harbor is a little park named after Michael Aselton, a police officer that died in the line of duty in 1983. The park was officially dedicated in 1996 and includes a few walking trails, benches and of course some view lovely views. The park is located right next to the Hyannis Maritime Museum and the one and a half mile long Hyannis Kennedy Legacy Trail runs right through the park. A nice park in a very nice place dedicated and named after someone who sacrificed all in the line of duty.

The path itself is in great condition. It is shaded for almost all of the section we did. The pavement is mostly smooth - any bumps from roots underneath are spray painted yellow so you see they are coming. On the section we rode, the sides are not overgrown so there is room to move over for others passing. Other riders and users were all friendly and respectful- ringing bells or announcing their approach. We rode about 7 miles East from our parking spot, taking a nice break for lunch at Seymour Pond. Some of our party went swimming! We were all thankful for the plentiful bike racks, many benches, and a clean porta-potty. This was definitely a highlight of our time on Cape Cod.
