Massachusetts has plenty of gorge sparks and natural spaces, but not all of them can boast of having a beautiful boardwalk through luscious gardens. Whether you visit at the height of spring or the snowy depths of winter, this little local park is a dream come true.
Armstrong-Kelley Park is located in Osterville. Though it is privately owned and operated by the Cape Cod Horticultural Society, the park is free and open to the public. Leashed pets are also welcome!
The jewel of the park is definitely the stunning boardwalk. It’s made out of more than 1,450 memorial boards that were laid by hand by locals and winds through some of the park’s most charming greenery. This is Cape Cod’s oldest and largest privately owned park, so there’s plenty of plant life to admire.
