Occupies 4 acres in a wooded hilly area on the southeastern side of town. The park is divided into three spaces: a pond to the south, a wooded picnic area with restrooms and horseshoe pits north of the pond, and a children’s play area across Wiltse Road from the picnic area. A seasonal stream winds through the picnic area from the pond, and a bridge across the stream provides access to the restroom facility. On-street parking is located between the play area and the picnic facilities. This park is in a relatively secluded location, leading to concerns by some about it’s cleanliness and safety.
