Gloucester's most noted landmark is the
harborside "Man at the Wheel" statue
(also known as the "Gloucester
Fisherman's Memorial Cenotaph"),
dedicated to "They that go down to the
sea in ships". The memorial sits along
Stacy Boulevard overlooking
Gloucester Harbor. Nearby the
Fishermen’s Wives Statute honors the
wives and children left ashore.

between the years 1926 and 1929 to serve both as his home and as a backdrop
for his collection of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance artifacts. In addition,
the building housed the Hammond Research Corporation, from which Dr.
Hammond produced over 400 patents and the ideas for over 800 inventions.

• Historic Fishing and Quarrying Villages:
o Annisquam: Established as a fishing village in 1631, the name is said to derive

from Ann (as in Cape Ann) and squam, meaning harbor. In the late 19th-
century, it was home to both granite quarrying and an artist colony, At the
mouth of the Annisquam River on Ipswich Bay is Annisquam Harbor Light,
perhaps the village's most historic edifice. The lighthouse has been in the
same spot since 1801, having undergone significant repairs in 1850. (Source
American Public University)
o Plum Cove: One of many small fishing villages where fish houses, wharves
and drying racks were built
o Lanesville: This village served as the location where quarried granite blocks
were hauled by oxen to nearby Lane’s Cove where they were loaded onto
sailing vessels for delivery by water to major cities in the Northeast.

SECTION 6: COMMUNITY VISION
A. Description of Process
To be written.
B. City of Gloucester Open Space and Recreation Vision Statement
Here is our vision for open space and recreation in Gloucester. We envision a time when
Gloucester residents will take great pride in caring for Gloucester’s open space and
recreation assets to ensure they are fully enjoyed and valued. Recreation areas offer safe
and enjoyable fitness opportunities for residents of all ages, abilities and income levels.
The unique beauty of the Gloucester landscape has a long tradition of inspiring visual
artists and writers. Preservation of open space will continue to promote Gloucester’s rich
artistic tradition.
We envision a Gloucester in which gateways to trails, parks and playgrounds will have
attractive signs, adequate parking and accessible paths. Guidebooks and maps will be
readily available on- and off-line, providing clear information about the access to and
appropriate use of the City’s open space and recreational lands. Through education and
example, Gloucester residents of all ages will come to value and protect open space and
recreation land; for example, dumping will no longer occur and residents will use
boardwalks and stay off beach dunes to protect barrier beaches.
We envision a time when Gloucester will have a full inventory of its open spaces and
understand the level of protection of those spaces. The community will identify their
appropriate uses and adopt the appropriate regulations and management practices to
protect and preserve them. The City will adopt regulations and practices that ensure no
net loss of wetlands, protect critical habitat and enhance recreational areas.
We envision a Gloucester that undertakes an honest evaluation of public and undeveloped

private open space to determine where public access exists on protected rights of way and
if convenient public access respectful of property owners’ interests exists or is possible
without hurting the environment..
We envision a Gloucester where open space protection will focus on preserving

continuous tracts of land and strategically adding adjacent lands and in-fill parcels to
protect and strengthen their natural character. This will include acquiring tracts necessary
to restore prime habitats.
We envision a Gloucester in which the community supports the improvement and

maintenance of existing parks, fields and playgrounds so that they are safe, clean and
well-maintained. In our vision, a private-public partnership will build a new track and
athletic field next to Gloucester High School. A completely renovated Burnham’s Field
will become a safe and active centerpiece enjoyed by residents from Downtown and all
over Gloucester. The City will dedicate land to add recreational facilities for youth and
71
high school sports in a way that’s consistent with preserving and enhancing the
environment.
We envision a Gloucester where the community supports management plans for major
tracts of lands, including the watershed lands around Ravenswood and Dogtown. The
management plans will include strategies to protect the City’s water supply and maintain
their ecological significance. Private and public partners will fund staff dedicated to
developing, implementing and enforcing the management plans.
In our vision, Gloucester’s children and youth will take pride in the open space and
recreation areas of the City and become more involved in the improvement and
stewardship of open space and recreation areas through education, community
participation, volunteer actions and paid service.
We envision a Gloucester in which public landings provide open and well-maintained

access to the water and include new amenities to allow easier public use. Open Space and
Recreation Plans will complement Waterway Board activities to maintain and improve
public access to the water.
In our vision, Gloucester residents and tourists of all ages will enjoy a pathway network
that connects major recreation areas and open space to Downtown and village centers.
The “Green Path Network” will provide trails for fitness and enjoyment with surfaces and
slopes that can accommodate casual walkers, wheelchairs, strollers and recreational
bicyclists. Users will have additional safe routes across Gloucester and motor vehicle
highway routes that will no longer serve as barriers to walkers, hikers and bicyclists.
We envision a Gloucester in which open space and recreation land planning, use and
management will thoughtfully consider the current and projected impacts of climate
change including changing habitats, rising sea-levels and the value of undeveloped land
in mitigating the impacts of climate change.

The National Park and Recreation Association has per capita facility standards that were developed in
1983. The Virginia Beach standards are similar but reflect more up-to-date trends in recreational facility
use demand.
