Wright Park was designed with the vision of a bucolic, scenic, pastoral, passive park as embodied by traditional English parks. It is currently undergoing some re-landscaping to return it to the look and feel of the original park. Surrounding the park are beautiful Victorian homes and other historic architecture: Start out your day with a breakfast at the Hob Nob and then wander around the park and explore. The Center point is located near the Seymour Conservatory. Be sure to open the photo gallery to see all of the photos that have been uploaded.
