  • Parking can sometimes be a little tricky, but this is a beautiful area to sit and eat and enjoy the waterfront tucked away in Fall River. The high quality of the boardwalk and the cleanliness is very noteworthy. The display inside the museum and the movies that they offer for free make for an interesting day. You can actually spend a full day here between Battleship Cove and walking the park and having some lunch and enjoying the history and heritage that makes this city great.
  • Cool place. Nice long boardwalk. Fun to run around
