Another one includes an art display walkthrough, right toward the sidewalk. It has a unique concept, a whale I believe made of wood (completely guessing), painted with various subjects. Found that to be pretty cool. In the back of the park, there is a public restroom, including benches as well. 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.

In fact Mr. Spohr was just building it then and we always stopped by to chat with him. He really enjoyed showing off his great finds to our 1-1/2 year old son who was totally engaged in what he was doing with these huge stones and iron ships' parts. For historical context, that son is now 47 years old and has come back repeatedly through his childhood and adulthood, originally with us but also on his own. His younger brother did not have the opportunity to see it then as I was only pregnant with him at the time, but he has been back with us over the years and has learned to love it too. But he has not had the opportunity to visit that area since he was finished with college and left the east coast permanently. The Gardens were left to a trust by Charles Spohr's will and the Town of Falmouth and the Trust still protect it and still use it for education. It supports itself with donations and allowing events like weddings to take place on the premises. The walk along the path on the shore of Oyster Pond is truly beautiful all times of year. The trees surrounding it in color in the fall, the swans on the lake in summer, the blooming flowers like we saw this August, are all magnificent. The anchors, the bollards, the grist stones laid out through the place, are so interesting that I still take the same pictures every time I can come here. The old dock where our son used to toss pebbles into the pond has been refurbished several times over the years and recently was rebuilt to a higher safety standard to be a perfect wedding setting. I never tire of visiting. It is free to walk in but it's nice to leave a donation by the entrance. Parking is very limited but there is a small lot and a few spaces along the residential street

The paved walk was in and out leading to the marsh we could see the ocean in the distance and had hoped it would take us out to it, but it does not. We met two people walking their dogs who told us about the longer second trail in the woods. So we walked back to the windmill, took the side road back until we found the green trail markers. Well marked trail that made a loop connecting with the paved trail. Another nice little walk. There are several picnic tables scattered around, a restroom, playground area, gazebo and large open field that could be used for tossing a ball or frisbee.
