as I said it is officially called Victory Park or at least that is how it shows on the maps, but is known by many locals as Poor Mans farm

if you are wondering like I was about that name here's some history on it

I was intrigued how it got the name of the Poor Farm and looked it up and found

The Poor Farm dates back to 1828, when the then-town of New Bedford purchased 75 acres on Clarks Point for $4,700. In the coming years, the farm was developed into a complex including a poorhouse, a hospital for sick seamen, a workhouse for criminals who committed minor offenses and later a “pest house,” or hospital for people with contagious diseases.

Now its a small park with a pond and a warming house beside it,

I haven't been back there recently, in fact its been a week or two since I got out for a walk, and I am sure its nowhere as green now as it was back when I took these shots

I love the greens around the pond and the times I have bene there it is so quite and peaceful, this next shot was a missed shot of a bird flying over the pond but I still liked it
