About this Location

Swift Park is a level field that was carved out of the rough hillside in West Falmouth in 1959, thanks to the urging of volunteer call firefighters who wanted a playground for the village. The land had been donated by Willard E. and Alice M. Swift, and many years later, in 1974, the town dedicated the 4.4-acre park in their name.

The Swifts also conveyed land to the West Falmouth Library. Mrs. Swift served as president of the library association in the 1950s.

The park has two public tennis courts (that are also lined for pickleball) and a Little League ball field. 

Swift Park is on Blacksmith Shop Road, a short way up the hill from the West Falmouth Fire Station on MA-28A. Ample parking is available. Walkers who park there can access the Mock and Moraine Trails by heading uphill and following Friends Way to the end. (Note: Friends Way is a private road, so no parking is allowed.)
