In Keene's downtown section is Central Square.
Central Square is at the north end of downtown Keene, in front of a white steepled church and surrounded by a network of roads. The Keene Parks and Recreation Dept. has the following about it:
"At the head of Main Street, this is the oldest of Keene's parks
Benches, a bandstand, a fountain and ornamental plantings adorn this island green in the middle of Central Square."
The fountain is a celebration of the partnership between the cities of Keene and Einbeck, Germany. At the time of visit, there was a quartet playing in the bandstand just before a wedding was to take place there.
I could not see any signs for the park.
