点评:The Swasey Parkway is a roadway that runs along the Squamscott River from the end of the downtown area on Water Street near Stillwell’s Ice Cream to where the parkway ends and rejoins Water Street which turns north, parallels the park, and becomes Newfields Road just after the terminus of the parkway.
The parkway is a good place to take a short drive for some scenic views which I’ve done many times on numerous trips to Exeter.
There is a narrow park with a path that runs between the parkway and the river. It’s a great place to walk and get scenic views of the river, some marshy areas, and former historic mills that have been repurposed.
Across the river, one can get a glimpse of the historic 1771 Powder House where a number of barrels of gunpowder were stored and used at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
On this visit, I covered the full length of the path.
There were several benches along the way.
At the north end, there is a large boulder with a plaque that states that this area was a gift from Ambrose Swasey in 1931. There is also a memorial stone for Robert M. Swasey that was donated by Star in the East Lodge #59.
Overall, the park's path is a very easy walk on a level ground.
For its scenic views from the roadway, plus flat terrain and accessibility for all levels of walkers on the path in the park, I rate the Swasey Parkway at 4.50.
The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews and some health issues.

翻译:Swasey Parkway 是一条沿着 Squamscott River 的道路,从靠近 Stillwell's Ice Cream 的 Water Street 市中心区的尽头到公园路的尽头,然后重新加入 Water Street,Water Street 向北转,与公园平行,并成为 Newfields Road公园大道的终点。
公园路是一个短途驾车欣赏风景的好地方,我在去埃克塞特的无数次旅行中都去过很多次。
有一个狭窄的公园,公园路和河流之间有一条小路。这是一个散步的好地方,可以欣赏河流、一些沼泽地区和已被重新利用的前历史磨坊的美景。
在河对岸,您可以瞥见建于 1771 年的历史悠久的火药房,那里储存了许多桶火药,并在邦克山战役中使用过。
在这次访问中,我走遍了整个路径。
沿途有几张长椅。
在北端,有一块巨大的巨石,上面有一块牌匾,上面写着该区域是 Ambrose Swasey 于 1931 年赠予的礼物。还有一块纪念石,由 Star in the East Lodge #59 捐赠给 Robert M. Swasey。
总的来说,公园的小路在平坦的地面上很容易走。
考虑到它从道路上看到的美景,加上平坦的地形和公园路径上各级步行者的可达性,我给 Swasey Parkway 打了 4.50 分。
