Bayside Park

Beautiful park with a ton of amenities for ALL ages. Gorgeous park well maintained. I highly recommend taking advantage of all this park has to offer. A lot of free parking

Beautiful view overlooking Mallett’s Bay. Relax while watching the scenic bay surrounded by the mountains. It’s so peaceful and quiet. No need to bring chairs there are benches and bench swings throughout the park! Definitely my happy place!

My absolute favorite park locally right now.

Pros

Free parking lot. Gorgeous view of mallets bay. Very green and clean. Volley ball courts, tennis courts, skate park, basket ball courts, large covered pavilion, bathrooms (with water fountains), garbage and recycling bins, two updated playgrounds with swings and tons of open grassy areas to play otherwise. The bike path also goes through this park so you can park your car and go for a nice long walk.

Cons

On a main road that can be loud and distracting. Earlier in the year this park was deeply affected by the caterpillar infestation that happened in Colchester. There was effort made on saving the deciduous trees but at one point it was impossible to walk through without having a caterpillar/s or their webs get all over you. Currently this is not an issue but I had to avoid this park in the spring/beginning of summer because it got so bad.

Overall the park is top tier to me. Great for all ages of kids, and generally has an easy going vibe.

Clean beautiful
