Stage Fort Park — Attraction in Gloucester

EPIC highlights according to my tastes:

*Floats ALLOWED @ larger beach woop woop! (There's 2 beaches here) Saw a UNICORN & PRETZEL float & a "Chillax" last time.

*Picnic tables/volleyball & open grilling allowed here- I think some areas may be reserved w/a permit perhaps? I'd Google it-great idea tho! Your peeps would LOVE!

*4+ Separated DOG(I bring my cat) Parks all next to each other- it's like VENNIS BEACH FOR DOGS, so rad. Different size areas, some grass/dirt/both/trees/obstacle structures! Never seen anything like it & I lived in SoCal. Mad Love & Gratitude Gloucester Dog Park!

*Sunrise/A.M Sun-Gazing is lovely and peaceful at larger beach in the a.m when tide is out (at least it was when I went)

*Sunsets is epic on the rocks. You'll see

*if your tired of Adult-ing, this is the perfect place to go out of your mind and back into your heart.

(IMAGINATION is creation. Look at the grass, dirt, trees, beach, sand, birds, salty blue living thing- how little YoU @ age 6 would of looked at it. What would you of IMAGINED? Nice. Go THERE :) Let your FEELINGs guide you. Choose what excites YoU most ;) you can do it.

*a frickin Castle is part of the skyline

*you can tour the "medieval" castle yourself until 3:30pm Tuesday thru Friday I believe.It's 5 mins down the road. Google "Hammond Castle"

*fabulous huge wide open modern playground

*Annd... The greatest "Old School" playground Ev a hh.

(Magically- (of course) this happens to be an EXACT REPLICA OF MY CHILDHOOD PLAYGROUND circa 1985 In LIMERICK, IRELAND (Europe). Unreal hah!

*biggest Giant rock you can climb plus endless more

*a zillion natural stairs cases winding, twisting, in around and about the whole magical land

*list never ends!...

Remember Going Hear as a kid you could drive in park spend the day no Hassel. now' it's 25.00 to park AND YOU NEED TO DO SO IN ADVANCE ONLINE"Also if you wish to injoy your lunch at a picnic table you must reserve one well" well" well in advance Duringsummer months. Hey Don't get me wrong great place to spend the day they have everything you'd need to have a great day at the beach, swimming sights food Small walking trail and a Birdseye veiw of harbor but like many other things in our country its getting priced out from the common man on a budget. I'd rather Brown Bag lunch park down the street off 127 going south bound for FREE! at ravens woods And injoy' a day of Hiking FOR FREE! on Miles of beautiful trails hills brooks ponds...

I stumbled upon Stage Fort Park after missing a Schooner Sail down at the Gloucester Harbor..... It was a Sunday evening, and there was a local rock band playing Motown and 60's music in the gazebo! Many local people in their beach chairs and picnicking while listening to great music with my Schooner sailing in the background waters of the park! Very picturesque and it turned out to be a beautiful night - And all for free! But donations to the the local organization that sponsors the concert are recommended..... The view is stupendous with many large schooners sailing by in the Massachusetts Bay! Highly recommend discovering Fort Stage Park - really...
