Also known as Riverfront Park. This long, skinny park is along the Greenbelt walking/bike path known for many walkers. There is a children's playground area and many picnic tables. You can generally find someone here during lunch, evenings, or weekends.
Learned that the Stella Cox also referenced on the park sign was the president of the Democratic Women's Club of Sullivan County in the 1956-1964 time frame.
