I am not sure why this dog park is rated 1 star. First of all; the dog park in manchester is…read moreprivate, you have to pay membership. Maybe that's worth it if you actually live in manchester, but even if you do, i read reviews of various drama. I started doing research, and found that nearby in hooksett, derry and merrimack have dog parks. I decided to give this place a try. It was kind of a loopy drive if you are coming on the highway from manchester. But this park is quite nice. -a small and large dog area - good for humans too! There is a river right by the park, you can enjoy a nice walk after a fun play at the park with your dog, or take your dog to swim! -there is a dog house that is like the size of a small barn that has a lost and found, lots of cute pics of the dogs that come here. Plenty of water jugs already filled up with clean water - lots of chairs here to sit -quite clean, i didnt find much poop -some agility items here, very basic -some owners have left toys here

Great park off the beaten path in Rye! They have a sports field out behind the playground,…read morebaseball, and basketball. It appears that dogs are okay as a few were there while we were. They have bathrooms but they were locked when we were there- might be a seasonal thing or only when a sports activity is going on. Plenty of parking! If you live in the area or are driving through and need an area to let the kids (and dogs) run around, then this is a great stop!

Great play structure with a few slides, big kid and baby swings, tire swing, and teeter totter to name some features.

If you're in southern Maine in the summer or fall and want to get away from the heavily trafficked…read morebeach hotspots, then grab your picnic stuff and come here. There's decent parking, and a handicapped spot nearest the picnic pavilion (this covered structure can be rented for large groups). And rest rooms. Speaking of potties--because Ms. Tiny Bladder knows there are people who care about this info--there's one typical park open-air bathroom. It's large and you could fit a wheelchair in, but there are no grab bars. There's a small building, closer to the woods, with a handicapped sign, so there is a designated bathroom for those of us with mobility issues. (I wasn't needing my cane nor wheelchair on this occasion.) There are picnic tables grouped to the right side of the grassy area, and a covered pavilion that can be rented for groups (though we ate in there one cloudy day & the whole place was empty). There are more picnic tables scattered about the other sides of the property, and a playground to the far left. Back at the entrance/exit, there is a small pond covered in water lilies and cattails. There's a little deck/overlook (seems a little sloped and close to the water, but it felt solid) and there's a bench nearby. No sitting on the bench or standing around this summer ('21), as there were fire ants living somewhere near the bench. A sign warned visitors ahead of time. Back on the picnic area side, there are many trails leading to Barters Creek, a picturesque spot with several places to stop and enjoy the water scene. There's one spot that's almost a little island (except it's probably by definition a peninsula? Maybe?). I've seen people swimming around there--teens to grammas--and it's just nice to also sit there and look out at the flora and fauna. We love this picnic area and always return every trip to York. Go check it out!

It used to bring in local visitors and was not popular online partially due to a typo on yelp. If you take a walk on the trail and get to the point of cliff overview, you may find a great overlook of the Piscataqua River and the Portsmouth Naval Prison across the river. As it is more searchable online, I will definitely attract more visitors around the time of sunset. Enjoy the magnificent view out there!

Across the street from Fort McClary State Park is a picnic area near Barters Creek. There are also…read moresome bathrooms and the Barters Creek Trail. While it isn't very long or difficult to navigate, it was absolutely lovely to walk around on - especially on a Sunday morning in late autumn. There was no one there but us! The trail is mostly a straight line with two tiny loops at each end (where it does branch off, you'll be met with big "State Boundary" signs as you're approaching someone's back yard) - so you can either choose to walk left or right first. If you initially go left on the trail, it's a small walk down to the Crockett Neck Rd bridge area. Loop around and go back to the right and you'll be brought to a mini island (we were there during low tide so it was easy to get to - only six or so steps over rocks to reach it). It's fun to hang out on it - there was a lobster trap washed up, a row boat flipped upside down, and the water was a sparkly greenish-blue. I know it sounds silly, but there really was something charming about Mini Island. Like you would expect to see fairies houses or gnomes gardens there! If you're visiting Fort McClary, it would be worth it to meander across the street (be sure to take a moment to sit and enjoy the pond - cattails, lily pads, and some amphibian friends) to this little area for some quiet time (especially during the shoulder seasons), some photos, and for some fresh air!
