Gillis Park

Also Known as Goat Hill or Pleasant View. This neighborhood park overlooks the Danvers and Bass Rivers.  The beach area is tidal and used primarily by the nearby residents; there is no lifeguard on duty, so you swim at your own risk.  Gillis Park is only one block from the downtown area.
