Frost Park

Beautifully manicured lawns and gardens make Frost Park a great place to spend part of a leisurely summer afternoon.  Bring along a picnic lunch, or just sit and enjoy your surroundings. Originally known as 'Victoria Park,'  it was built on the site of a very old cemetery.  Stones which have been found over the years can be seen here and there on the lawns standing where they were discovered.

Yarmouth at Night

A pleasant change for those from big cities - at night Yarmouth is a quiet place with streets safe enough for night-time strolls.  Pause in Frost Park and enjoy the soothing sounds of the sea, the night breeze in the trees, and the fountain's flow.
