We randomly stopped here after a short hike earlier in the day, and decided to have lunch on the grass by the sea wall. It was gorgeous, well kept, and postcard perfect! Walking along the seawall and watching boats coming in and out was perfect. Highly recommend for a nice outing, whether you want to picnic, take pictures, dig in the sand, play tennis, play bocce, or just walk around.

Beautiful location right on the water. Plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view of the boats coming in and out of Gloucester.

Beautiful place for a socially distant time by Gloucester Harbor. Plenty of parking, however at times there is a fee. Restrooms are open until 5:45 each day.

Wonderful place for kids to run and play. Great playground with lots of fun structures to climb on. Restrooms on site. Ocean access on a rocky beach made for lots of beachcombing fun. We live almost an hour away, and it was the perfect place for an adventure day with my 4 year old. We will definitely be back!

Lovely park with a playground for the kids, access to a small beach, great place for a picnic lunch and swim. Gets crowded on hot days. Has a public restroom. There is a restaurant here as well serving things like fried clams and chicken fingers etc.

What a beautiful park. Me and my 3 kids spent all day there yesterday. So much to do and see. Plenty of parking and no problem social distancing. The park was very clean. We were there 5 hours and still need to go back to see the rest of it. To big for one day. The beaches were amazing with a lifeguard. Just a beautiful place to spend the day...

Its a beautiful place to be, whether you enjoy well-done landscapes or waterviews and beaches. The rocky side of the water has clear water but when i went there was also plenty of seaweed which wasnt too bad, but the water was crystal clear. Probably wouldnt go for a swim. But its nice to dip into for a while.

I have been coming here since I was a teenager. A LONG time ago lol. Its a GREAT family spot as well as couples or ANYONE. There are huge grassy areas, play area for kids, a little beach cove. Plus a long stretch of beach. Great views and a huge bunch of rocks to climb up on. Be careful with little ones on the rocks. You can also BBQ here. Its just a fun place to enjoy nature and breathe the fresh ocean air.

Fantastic Beach, its Huge. Its like 5 Beaches connected together. Restaurants, Boat rentals , grills, picnic tables etc. $20. Parking

One of the best parks in Gloucester. Great playground for all ages, multiple open space areas for picnics or throwing frisbee, large rocks for kids to explore and climb, incredible views of the ocean, beautiful historic location with life-size cannons, 2 beaches for swimming in the summer, separate dog park for the pups, tennis courts and baseball field, food stand for summertime, bathrooms open in summertime

Great place to hang out. Perfect for a picnic or kite flying. There is a small beach as well. We walked to the park from the Fishermans Memorial along the promonade, but you can also pay to park there.

It is a wonderful place to have a pic nic or bring your dog (they have a dog park) or have your children unwind after a long drive. And the view is beautiful.

Love the idea of being able to grill by the ocean. Small cove beach. Calm water. Great for younger kids. Not a lot of room on the beach, especially when the tide comes in. Amazing views, very scenic with lots of rocks to climb. Theres even a baseball field and park for small children. Not many benches so a table and your chairs if you dont arrive early. Bring your own grill as well.

Great park. Bathrooms in the visitors center were clean. Lots of trails to walk along. The flower gardens were stunning.

Beautiful day at the park. Hiked along the water and had lunch at the takeout restaurant in the park. We sat at a picnic table next to the food spot. There is a cute little beach that has plenty of shade as well.

My parents took me when i was a kid, been going here ever since.To get a good stretch of the legs. the view, the people, sun and beaches.and climb the rocks

Love this place. So peaceful and relaxing. The keep the park nice and clean. Many areas to walk, have a picnic or just sit by the ocean. Several small little beach areas but nice. Half Moon Beach is the prettiest and has life guards. Wonderful for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Great place for the kids to play and adults to relax tons of things for them to climb and play

Giant Boulder. Gorgeous beach .parking.. picnicking..hiking. Playground..built in grilles️

This is one of the nicest parks at the water I have ever been to. You can swim, cook out or picninc, hike up rocks to short trail, collect sea glass and even play volleyball.

One of our new favorite places on the North Shore. Beautiful views, plenty of lawn space for laying out. You can walk a great ways here and find beaches both for people and a couple fog friendly ones. Our dog loved meeting the many dogs along this walk. We also noticed people hammocking and grilling out. Seems like a great family spot, but would also make a great spot for a date.

You might call this ‘The Dust Bowl!’ Broken glass everywhere, no green grass due to no sprinkler system and lack of shade by natural trees. To add insult to this place, they charge $20 for parking with large signs stating “ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS”. Interesting. I’m sure many have been duped into coming here only to quickly regret like we did. Don’t bother. Save your $$ and take a trek over to Wingaersheek beach or Good Harbor. There seems to be a beach although we didn’t stay long enough to venture down to it. Maybe that’s this parks saving grace. Who knows.

Beautifyl location at the harbor. Love the views of the coast and the rock!

This park is amazing! Many exposed granite areas with paths and stairs all over them, a nice beach (no changing room except the restrooms but it did have an outdoor shower), a beautiful promenade overlooking Gloucester harbor which has the fisherman statue.

Didnt know this place existed and its a great place to visit. Dog friendly, great views over Gloucester and the water, and a nice beach too! If youre just walking the dog, parking on the main road is free for an hour.

Loved how this is at a major intersection, passed by thousands of vehicles daily.

Great public park overlooking the huge Gloucester harbor. Kids love the little beaches & climbing thd big rocks.

Nice walking park, right beside the bay. No dogs on beach during the summer. Dogs on leash only. Im not from Gloucester and only came to use the dog park - I had to pay the $20 parking anyway. So, I walked around so Id get my $ worth! Good up and downish place to walk; lots of families and even a tiny bit of diversity!What a great place for a baseball diamond!

Great place to enjoy a Sea view stroll. Lots of benches to sit and listen to the ocean waves.

Lots of space and places to experience. Great view of lighthouse and boats in harbor. Recommended.

Exceptionally gorgeous with all the leaves changing colors! I love it.

Great park with plenty of parking. A large baseball field to enjoy on and 2 beaches right there. A very unique location in Gloucester. Enjoy a stroll around the park

This is by far the best state park in Massachusetts weve been to as it fits our family perfectly. The views are amazing, there are plenty of picnic tables around the area, the playground is great. It even has a free parking. The only complaint is that the restrooms close early (at 5?), so better be careful having a coffee on your way there!

Lovely place to walk, lounge, enjoy the water, and views. Can walk to the Fishermens Memorial and Wives Memorial statues.

Awsome place first time back since was a child 30 years ago and it still as beautiful as then great spot to have cookout and go fishing

Seems like a wonderful waterfront park for any time of year

Pretty area but public facilities were closed.

Great place to take the kids! Huge expensive playground areas, a baseball field, several beaches, and lots of walking trails and picnic tables.

I come here every year with my family more than once. We love it. Playground, two beach areas. Tons of tables in shade or sun, sports field & rocks galore to climb. The trash could be better kept up with, but overall a beautiful fun place to visit

Nice place to bring your kids or grandchildren. Bring along a picnic make a day of it.

The iconic Fishermens Memorial is worth a visit and Gloucester is an interesting, working seaport.

Beautiful Park, nice calm views. Lots of cool places to explore.

Perfect place to enjoy Gloucester s beauty, history and maritime sites.

This old fort is located on the shore of Glouster bay. It is a beautiful spot, and it has a visitors center.

Beautiful spot on lovely Cape Ann.

Beautiful park with tons to check out. Puts Plymouth Rock to shame

An absolutely beautiful park right on the ocean with two beaches. There are restrooms a sand filled volleyball court grilling is allowed and a playground for the kids. If you dont want to be cooking they have a restaurant and ice cream store for a fantastic alternative. You can take a short walk to Stacey Boulevard and see the historic man at the wheel fishermans statue and fishermans wives statue.

Dog on leash friendly park. My dog loved the doggy park.

A beautiful beach! The area was mostly clean and the water was clear. Definitely a great beach to bring little ones too, and a great place if you like some shade.

Nice place, parking and traffic could be tricky though!

Wonderful walk along the water. Loved all the flags flying and watching the boats come in and go out.

If you have never been, you need to.. absolutely something to see... It is a hidden gem

Great place, open space for seating and beachfront... lovely visit

All the staff was friendly, the service was great, and every dish we ordered was delicious from appetizers to entrees.

One of the nicest beaches around. Can get crowded though. Still nice.

Beautiful place to visits and cook out. Big places, alot to see.

Great weather! A lot of shade! Not crowded!

Beautiful spacious fresh air huge boulders, beaches, playground, ice cream.

I loved it. It was wonderful and beautiful

Great park. Playground for kids (though not shaded). Nice sites for a BBQ or picnic. Area to setup outdoor games. Concerts in the gazebo in tge summer. Clean restrooms. Best to arrive by 10:30am to get the picnic table you want. Parking is $15, but free after 4pm.

Residents only parking. It took us an hour to find a space and then only for an hour. If you re willing to pay for parking they should have areas for non residents.

Nice place but without water shoes its very difficult to even get into the water. Very rocky and wasnt very clean

Beautiful place to watch the boats or check out the drawbridge. Dont forget to take a picture at the Gloucester fisherman memorial!

Great spot to enjoy the harbor and beach. Cleaner would be even nicer. And $20 to park. Yikes.

Beautiful rustic natural and clean. Stopped for sunshine and fresh air. Had a nice walk and it was spectacular!

Beautiful picnic area, great views of the ocean. Parking cost $15.00 for the day. The beach is a 15 to 20 minute walk from the park. Charcoal and gas grills allowed. A bit of a walk from the parking area to the picnic grounds. There are public restrooms and an ice cream shop nearby.

I enjoyed the amenities for the kids, great beach access, pet friendly and and clean restrooms.

Favorite place to walk my dog and enjoy some music in the gazebo on special nights. They host a Blues Festival that is amazing and the Thursday Farmers Market is not to be missed. Overall, its a great place for a light hike, family picnic, a swim or a dog walk...nice bathroom facilities as well.

Really fun go to be kids to,they love to explore the tide pools

Love the beach and it was very accessible. My kids had fun and didnt want to leave!

Farmers market in the summer pretty awesome. Half moon beach you can sit up on the rocks and look at the ocean to your right and the harbor to your left. Playground for kids.

Great place to go for basketball courts, baseball fields, dog park, family cookouts at the beach with coal disposal pits, awesome playground and a whole lot more!

Great place for walkers. Terrific playground for the tikes.

Is good for sit down/walk ..so many shades with nice people ..but is not good for swimming

Beautiful park with amazing views. Also great to-go food and ice cream.

The views are spectacular, love climbing on the big rocks, looking for sea glass on the beach. The bathrooms are kept clean and well stocked. One of my favorite places to visit!

Beautiful area. Love this place.

Beautiful park, perfect little beach!

Beautiful area! Very nicely cared for. Lots of different swim areas. Reasonably priced lunch and Ive cream at the stand.

Its nice to go for walks theres a beach down there and they usually have music great picnic area. And it even has an ice cream store.

Beautiful flowers to admire with an ocean backdrop just gorgeous!

WAY TO ROCKY, should use a backhoe to make a walk way and accessible to the handicap there is no handicap accessibility

Out with family at stagefort park on fathers day awesome thanks to my son-in-law and daughter and my two granddaughter s great day love you guys

Beautiful waterfront park with playground, promenade, amazing ocean views and two beaches. My only complaint is that there is a lot of broken glass in some places making it difficult to enjoy all areas with kids

Great place to sit down and enjoy an ice-cream

Amazing place for walk, run, or just sitting soaking in sun. Stop by watch the boats enter harbor and enjoy life

Beautiful walking park, with wonderful views and historical plaques to read. Amazing views with beautiful spots to sit. There is a childrens park, places to BBQ, a shoreline to walk on, we really enjoyed the park.

Amazing place to go with family, lots of space for walking, views of the ocean , and some cool rocks and cannons !

Great place for kids! Spent 2 days there with my grandkids especially at the beach area! Going back again today!!

Great place to spend the day with the entire family. Theres much to do. Theres a great little beach for the kids and an amazing park for when they inevitably get bored. The ocean views are stunning with great views of the harbor. Plenty of picnic tables, a great little place for a quick lunch or ice cream and walking distance to everything you want to see during a quick day trip.

Beautiful place. Quiet and clean, fantastic views of ocean and town.

Great playground and little half Moon beach perfect for kids but also very crowded. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes can be bad especially after rain.

Good view, plenty of parking, clean, lots of space to explore

Love this place, I wish I would have found out about it sooner.

Nice park - local sticker or fee required during the season. Lovely beach. Good for cookouts. Picnics. Nicely maintained ball field before the entrance wit street parking. Lots of open grassy areas for fun and games. Playground, sheltered restrooms.

Sick diversity of nature and man made flower beds

Great place for a walk when its still cold. Beautiful coastline.

Beautiful, picnic tables, views, ice cream and seafood near by, swimming, playground ECT ect

Came here with my roommate because he is from Gloucester and enjoyed coming here

I love this whole park and area, just so beautiful!!
