Central Park - Whittier, CA

Central park is surrounded by historic homes and buildings and has been a gathering place in Whittier for over 100 years.
There is no parking lot, so you may need to walk a distance for special events, such as the Summer Concerts in the Park series.
This statue of John Greenleaf Whittier, for whom the city was named, was installed for Whittier’s Centennial celebration in 1987.

The first Whittier Founder's Day Celebration was held here on May 11, 1894.
