Stroll down to Fall River Heritage State Park. This 8.5-acre park hugs the Taunton River and overlooks Battleship Cove. It is a short walk from Bicentennial Park and provides a relaxing end to the evening with views of the water and the historic ship.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WNW on July 15. Bicentennial Park faces generally west/northwest, making it an ideal vantage point for this specific sunset alignment.
