Due to beach erosion, all of the trails to the Knob are closed. But if you are adventurous, during low tide you can access the Knob via the shoreline. It will require some grappling in a few spots but it's not impossible, I saw children and elderly managing the convoluted route. Parking is very limited and the Knob is adjacent to private property. Cape Cod during season is definitely a crowded place. We visited in February and always find parking but were never alone. Unfortunately for those with mobility issues this is yet another attraction that is inaccessible. Dogs are allowed only during the winter and please keep them on a leash.

A really nice park on Shrewsbury St with an outdoor amphitheater and a splash area for kids during the hot weather. The park is slightly sloped but has flat areas for easy walks. Dogs are welcomed on a leash. The park is easily accessible for handicapped. A bus stop is located at the entrance. The granite griffins (winged lions) that flank the entrance are out of place since the rest of the park doesn't match their significance. The Griffins are originally from the Old Union Station and were arch supports for the train shed.

A great trail with lots of field stone walls that can make you imagine how important the area was to the community. Be sure to find the old foundations of the garrison and possibly the world's smallest beaver dam

Nice ice house

Located in the heart of Shrewsbury, Prospect park is the remains of what was once a mansions garden which has recently been undergoing restoration. The mansion was razed in the 1970s but the pergola was left untouched. Off street unpaved parking has sapce for about 15 vehicles. This is a very popular spot to walk dogs and is easy for all ages. Follow the paved access road to the water towers and stay to the right then you'll see a grassy opening where the mansion once stood. Lower on the hill is the area of the formal garden and its ruins.
