History
Fall River Heritage State Park is a 14-acre public park on the Taunton River in Fall River, Massachusetts, beside the Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge at Battleship Cove, home of the World War II battleship USS Massachusetts. Developed through Massachusetts's heritage parks program, launched in 1978 to create urban parks that paired public space with local heritage and nearby investment, the park opened its visitors center in 1985. Its boardwalk, meadow, antique carousel from Lincoln Park in Dartmouth, and public sailing program blend recreation with riverfront identity. The park remains both a green gathering place and an entry point to Fall River's waterfront history.
