About this park
A downtown park built around a big open field, with a playground, basketball court, and a summer sprinkler. The wide lawn gives leashed dogs room to walk, and the park hosts an end-of-summer gala and other events through the season. It's an unfenced city square, so daytime visits are the safer bet.
