DeWolf Park - The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I've had the pleasure of visiting DeWolf Park in the heart of Bedford, and it's definitely a mixed bag for me. On the positive side, the park offers a beautiful area for a leisurely walk, especially during the calm evening hours. The serene ambiance and natural surroundings create a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.
However, lately, I've noticed that the park has become quite crowded, often with around 100 dysregulated kids running and playing. While it's great to see the younger generation enjoying outdoor activities, the high number of visitors can sometimes make it challenging to relax.
In addition, there have been instances of religious groups practicing what appear to be cult-like rituals. This has left me feeling a bit uncomfortable, as it contrasts with the peaceful and inclusive vibe that a park should ideally offer. While I respect everyone's right to practice their beliefs, it would be wonderful if the park could ensure that all activities are respectful of the space and its diverse visitors.

I wish people could have taken care of this beautiful place in order to everyone can go there and have nice time in a fresh air with their families.
Sharing and taking turns on seats and chairs are nice things if you do practice it. It is gonna be a part of your polite manner please don't stay on a place all the time while there are other families walking around looking for a place to have a rest and seat on it.
When you don't need a space try to let others have it, or don't occupy all the seats around while you may not need it .
Don't forget that sharing is...
Read moreA nice local public park on the shoreline of Bedford Basin. No swimming area, but ample room for a quiet and relaxing day, or a pleasant stroll down a well maintained boardwalk. Washroom facilities available. Children's playground is safe and secure. (Mobility challenged swing available, but the locking mechanism is admitting a little excessive in that some physical strength is required to engage/disengage the locking safety restraining mechanism. Recently installed 'Lion Figure's public water fountain. Public outdoor exercise equipment near the playground area for an added peasant park experience. Additional parking is available directly across from the park proper. Please be aware of pedestrian traffic entering and exiting the park from automobile traffic. All in all a fun public place for sea anglers and even learn some local historical, while viewing the local recreational watercraft in the marina area. If you are a recreational boater, there is a boat launching ramp in the newer portion of the park that is at the extreme southern end. This portion of the park area is accessed by continuing down the roadway beyond the playground area of...
