Since I know that a number of Beverly residents read this blog, I just wanted to pass along a Public Service Announcement regarding ***Lynch Park|http://www.bevrec.com/lynchpark.html***. With great ocean views, beautiful gardens, expansive grassy areas, and even an ice cream shop (Dick & June’s), Lynch Park is undoubtedly Beverly’s best public park. It’s a great place to hang out in the summer. (And it’s also a great place to have your friend Beth Bray take your ***engagement photos|http://gallery.prwdot.org/engagement_photos***.) Starting June 19 and running through August 14, Beverly Recreation will be doing semi-weekly movie nights. You can see the schedule for movies, along with other BevRec events, at the ***public calendar|http://www.localendar.com/public/bevrec***. For example, the original Star Wars movie will be showing on August 14. 🙂

From May 21 through Labor Day, parking at Lynch Park is restricted. For non-residents, parking is $5 on weeknights and $12 on weekends. For residents, parking is free with a valid Beverly vehicle registration. You can either get a sticker on your first visit, or show your registration every time if you don’t want a sticker on your car.

Here’s to the quickly-approaching summertime!
