St. Catherine's Chapel Park, White Horse Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

St. Catherine's Chapel Park is maturing into quite a beautiful spot along White Horse Road just a few hundred yards/meters walk to the beach. Here's an earlier post about the park at this link.

"The Simes House Foundation now owns St. Catherine’s Chapel Park, located at 95 White Horse Road in Manomet. The site, formerly home to St. Catherine’s Chapel, was sold by the church to Good Properties Realty Trust, which built a beautiful, pastoral two-acre park. The park has been given as a gift to the Foundation, along with a $90,000 maintenance endowment. Historical village signage has been designed and is scheduled for installation. The public is welcome to enjoy the facility." (Source: The Simes House Foundation).

The signage has been installed and provides a fascinating journey into our local past.

Good Properties Realty Trust, a private entity, according to public town records, purchased the former church property in June 2012 for $379,000. They then demolished the church structure, dug up and disposed of almost two acres of asphalt parking lot, reconditioned the soil, landscaped, planted trees, graveled walks, built an entrance driveway, added fencing, lighting, and signage - and then DONATED the entire completed park to the foundation? WOW, what a wonderfully altruistic act! I don't know who the Good Properties Realty Trust people are but I for one, commend and thank them for their kindness and generosity to our community.
