With lots of phenomenal whale sightings this week, I thought we’d bring you one more. This gorgeous new whale sculpture has been placed in Rockport’s Millbrook Meadow. This area of the park is under construction right now, but I will report back with the artist’s name, etc. when I am able.
Millbrook Meadow is one of my very favorite places in Rockport and amazing recent changes by the Millbrook Meadow Conservancy have made this special place even more treasured.
This magical four-acre park is nestled in downtown Rockport, just a stone’s throw from Front Beach. Nearly half of it is Mill Pond — a pristine wonderland of aquatic plants, with turtles, eels, ducks, birds, otters, beavers, and fish.
The Meadow comprises the other half, an open space with a beautiful winding brook, a frog pond and delightful stone bridges. It’s a special place for play and relaxation. And a favorite spot for fairs and seasonal festivals.
Since 1938 volunteers have kept it beautiful for everyone. We are now in the midst of a long overdue, major restoration of this green gem for our community.
Good Morning Gloucester
