Mackerel Hill
Park
👍👍 Nice little park. Rolling fields good for dog walks or a picnic. Feels much more remote than I would have expected. Not many people come here. Trails to Beaver Brook and other areas go through here too. Used to be a children's hospital.

Cabot Park
Park
👍👍 One of the best grounds for cricket. The outfield is faster than most of the grounds I have played. This ground has a good number of free parking spots.
