Watson Pond State Park

"We attended a memorial remembrance fo a relative. It was a beautiful day . If you are handicapped you don't have to pay for parking, otherwise there is a parking meter to use. Our get together was in the stone pavilion which was a great size with a roof and pretty view of the water and trees. However, if handicapped, it was a long bumpy walk whether it was across a grassy field or stony walkway. We brought our service dog without a hitch from anyone or at least one other dog. Plenty of room for kids to play, even playing ball. There was a ranger available , if needed. Very pleasant day!"

"They charge $8.00 to park which is fine but they don’t take cash. The beach had goose poop that could have been raked up. Water was ok and playground was nice. Not as nice as it could be."

"Attended a great party. The kids had a blast The gazebo was really nice to use for the party. The children loved swimming ;. There were 4 attendants by the bathroom, and all 4 of them sat in chairs the whole time we werefz¹ there. ?? There were plenty of things I'm sure they were supposed to be doing. working?"

"Watson Pond State Park in Taunton is a peaceful spot to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities! Perfect for families, there is a playground and an area for swimming. Great for outdoor enthusiasts- they offer grills to make a barbecue, you can go fishing or kayaking, or take your dog for a quiet walk in the woods. Whatever outdoor activity you enjoy, Watson Pond State Park is the best spot in Taunton!! However, please be advised that they charge an $8 parking fee for MA residents or $20 for non-MA residents…that is the only downside. Otherwise, it was a perfect family day! Clean facilities.
