Fort Taber Park
Date visited: 9/9/2022
Fort Taber Park is the site of Fort Taber, a military fort built in the late 1800's. The park sits on the southern peninsula of the city looking out into Buzzard's Bay. The grounds include a walking trail that loops around the peninsula, a fishing pier, a playground, war monuments, a military museum and a beachy area. There's a bike trail that is used to complete the loop that passes the School for Marine Science & Technology. There were wild turkeys hanging out at the school. You can see them in the shadow of the building in one of the pictures. I couldn't get them to pose with the dogs. I don't know what the significance of the planet signs are. We passed signs for Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Maybe there are others we missed?

Cove Walk
Date visited: 9/9/2022
There's Harbor Walk, River Walk and Cove Walk. We visited Cove Walk, because I saw the parking area for it. We only walked about half of it, because it was pretty boring. It was a nice day, but Mandy was getting tired and we had already walked three miles at Fort Taber Park, so we cut this one short.
