About this park

Bicentennial is a small, clean downtown park with a basketball court, a playground, and an open grassy area where neighbors walk their dogs on leash. It is the only neighborhood park downtown that isn't part of a larger complex, which makes it a convenient stop, if a quiet one. Reviewers call it well-landscaped but short on seating, with the equipment starting to show its age.

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

Reviewers value the location and the tidy landscaping: a clean, serviceable patch of green in a part of downtown that doesn't have much else.

Before you go

There's almost no shade or seating, so this works best as a quick leashed stop rather than a long visit. A corner store nearby covers snacks.
