Fort Phoenix is more than the Cannons and Hurricane barrier

Fort Phoenix is more than the Cannons and Hurricane barrier

I have shared a few posts in Fort Phoenix State Park, in Fairhaven before, but I have generally focused on the remnants of the fort or sunsets from there, but the park, although one of the smaller State parks in MA has a lot more to offer,
Such as a nice beach which I shall start this post with

But it also has a basketball court, and I am pretty sure tennis courts, but I do not seem to have taken any photos of the Tennis courts

More of the fall colors, and to show it has a nice area to walk, including to walk around or by this big rock formation

to get to this nice big open field there was a Dad and his son throwing frisbee's in the field the afternoon I was there.
Yes this was one of my rare during the day walks, most of my walks are early morning

And here I am on the Hurricane barrier wall, and you may wonder why when I said I was going to focus on other things in the park, well that's for two reasons.
!, because I had these photo edited and if I didnt share it in this post now sure if I ever would fit it into another post

and..

Cool.. Lots of stuff to do around that park and looks like they keep it well kept too. Anything cool ever wash up on those beaches? I'm not talking bodies either.. lol.. unfortunately I bet that is always a possibility. Along the ocean here, all sorts of weird things wash up. I always seem to find bits of old military shells and the occasional sharks tooth.

I must admit I seldom take the time to do beachcombing but it’s something I should do I am sure interesting things do wash up from time to time

I love those parks that have been built out to have a number of amenities for people to enjoy. Lums Pond State Park near me has canoeing, tennis, volleyball, and so on and so forth, as well as places to walk, picnic, and even trail ride. It's a great place. No beach, though, which would be awesome.

Well even without a beach that park sounds like one I would love :)

Hope the weather is treating you more kindly.

Thanks, was a little cool this morning but it looks like warmer days will be coming soon :)

Just being out in the fresh air is rewarding, much history in the area you live with some left to remind one life has up's and down's.

Ohh yes I totally agree, heading out again this morning, some fresh air is the best way to start the day

Enjoy the walk, envious of your ability to walk without fear, being able to hear the sea and watch scenery unfold.

Indeed I am lucky, especially knowing how it is not possible for so many others including yourself

Will hopefully be able to plan to get away soon, somewhere to watch the sunrise again. Enjoy!

I hope that comes to be for you soon :)

I like the shot of the hurricane barrier wall with the fort in the distance. Blue water and blue skies :) Nice to see when I still have white ground and gray skies.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Looks like we may be done with the white stuff looks like the temps here will be slowly climbing and spring may take hold
Have a great day

I think it's nice during the day, but the morning colors do add something special :) ...

Nice shots! It looks like a really beautiful park. I can just imagine how many kids and families have scrambled up the rock and stood on top of it like they had just climbed Mount Everest! I love playing catch with the Frisbee. Probably one of my favorite summer activities. Fun fact, did you notice your browser flag you for not capitalizing the word Frisbee? That's because Frisbee is a registered trademark of the Wham-o corporation so I am guessing it is considered a proper noun. Anyway. Dumb facts I know....

I didnt notice that with Frisbee but now I do know and capitalized it this time

I havent thrown a frisbee for years, infact I think I have only tried once or twice, i see posts about Frisbee golf that seems ot be gettign very popular in some places

Yeah, Disc Golf is awesome. It has been around for quite some time, but in the past decade or so it has really picked up. I used to play quite a bit in the summer. Now it is only occasionally that I get out, but I still have my discs and I take them with me whenever we go camping just in case there is a course nearby.

Its somehting i have wanted to try, maybe I should buy a disk and give it a go, not the golf but just having fun with it at least initially

Yeah, it is a ton of fun. Super cheap to get started too and it generally takes less time to play than 18 holes of real golf. Many people have multiple discs, but you really only need a putter and a mid-range. You could even go with just a mid-range if you wanted. Buying a disc and getting out to throw it (even in the back yard) is a great way to start and get familiar with how it flies.

Thanks for the info
I may get just one to try in the cemetery just back of our place worse comes to worse I will get exercise chasing after wherever it goes

What a great pictures,it looks nice and attractive, the beach, basketball court, volleyball court and so on , are amazing.

I am sure on a nice day its a very popular spot

So beautiful

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated Have a great day

Beauty records. I really wait to see what location you share every time you post. Good luck

Thanks thats so kind of you to say
have a great day

You know I'd be fishing out there on those piers!

Not many are out fishing yet but when it warms up a little more people will be out there fishing each morning I see them often

Absolutely love the shots! They look so pretty and cinematic

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Damn that’s a beautiful place indeed! I love the space that it’s got around it. Reminds me of the state park in Rye New Hampshire that’s got all that fun stuff! It’s also got pay to park which isn’t as fun lol. We might explore down that way this coming spring and early summer as a way to see some of the areas south of us instead of always north!

yeah pay to park is a pain, luckily most of my walks are early morning when they dont enforce it here :)

It is a real nice park,, I love walks there

That is a really nice shot of Palmers Lighthouse! I am so used to seeing the early morning shots, this was a change for you. I love when you throw me a curveball. The curvature of the shoreline is one of my favorite views when I look at shorelines, it lengthens the lines (for me)

Wonderful post! Thanks for sharing.

LOL I do try and throw the odd curveball now and again just with my aim I never know where it will end up

Yes, these images are quite different from usual, but nevertheless they are beautiful as always. I like the curve that the Hurricane barrier wall makes and the Palmers Island Lighthouse looks great in daylight too.
