Fall River Heritage State Park

Davol St., Fall River
508 675 5759

This 8.5-acre park enjoys a spectacular location overlooking Battleship Cove, home of the World War II battleship, U.S.S. Massachusetts. The Visitors Center features a multi-screen slide show, "The Fabric of Fall River," which tells the history of the city that once produced more cotton textiles than any other in the Western Hemisphere.

The park hugs the shore of the Taunton River (Mt. Hope Bay) and offers a boardwalk, benches, groves of trees, an antique carousel, public sailing programs, and a three-acre meadow perfect for summer concerts, craft festivals and family picnics. The newest addition to the cove is the H.M.S. Bounty, a 169-foot Tall Ship built for the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty.
