Backyard Road Trips often focuses on Plymouth, MA. Remember Clear Pond Conservation Area, Brewster Gardens or Mayflower Brewing Company’s beer gardens? (Maybe it’s because Plymouth is the home base of this website….) No matter how you slice it, Plymouth has tons of neat stuff to do, not even including the touristy spots of Plimoth Plantation and Plymouth Rock. Being a father, fun entertainment is really important for my kids. It’s even better when it’s free, hence the reason this post focuses on (mostly) free family fun in Plymouth.
Among my favorite free spots in Plymouth is Nelson Park and the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Farm. Even though these are hardly hidden gems for locals, string a few of these together (along with a stop on Plymouth’s Beverage Trail), and you’ve got yourself an afternoon for the local or the tourist!
