Activities
Whitman Town Park is a great place to get outdoors. The park is well-maintained with beautiful landscaping throughout the year. It has a cute little duck pond, nice walking trails, a big playground, basketball courts, baseball fields, and a community swimming pool. Wintertime brings fun for all ages with sledding on the hills and skating on the pond. Whitman is also home to Hobart's Pond, which is a popular fishing hole for local children. There is a paved walking path with water on both sides providing easy access to the water and ample “shoreline” to fish. No trip to the park or fishing excursion would be complete without a trip to Peaceful Meadow’s Ice Cream on the way home. Peaceful Meadow’s serves some of the most delicious homemade ice cream on the South Shore. People from all around come to Peaceful Meadow’s to sit by the idyllic pasture and enjoy their amazing ice cream.
