| Although Winslow Park has a small beach it
always seems big enough for the children who have a fine time playing there.
Weekends are busy during the summer but weekdays and in the fall you will
find yourself alone many times. There is no lifeguard - swim at your
own risk. A map of the Winslow Memorial Park and Campground is
available from the town of Freeport website at this
link. |
 |
| The beach has a swimming platform to swim to.
During low tide it rests on the beach bottom but during high tide it is deep
enough to dive from. This is a protected water area so there is not much
wave action on most days. A brochure of the Winslow Memorial Park
and Campground is available online from the town of Freeport website at this
link. |
 |
| Group picnic shelters are available for a small
fee. There are two structures to have group gatherings for your family
reunion, club, organization, or company picnic. They have many picnic
tables under cover from the weather. Reservations are necessary.
These are located convenient to the playground, bathrooms and beach. |

There are an abundance of picnic tables
scattered throughout the campground and park. Many have outdoor grills
for charcoal to cook from. The campsites have metal fireplaces. |
 |
| Centrally located within the park is a large
grassy field. A volleyball court, swingset and other play apparatus are
available for children. There is plenty of room for the pickup game of
baseball, football or soccer. |
 |
| The boat launch at Winslow Park sees a lot of
use. Small motorized boats, canoes and kayaks can be launched here and there is
convenient parking after launching your boat. This is a wonderful area
to put in your boat or kayak. |
 |
| One of many beautiful views found at Winslow
Park. There is a short trail that follows the coastline of the park
and campground. Lots of
benches and scenic views are available along the well-kept walking path.
At the very tip of Stockbridge Point you get a wonderful view of South
Freeport Harbor with its many fishing and pleasure boats located at the mouth of the Harraseeket River. |
