Durante Park has peaceful trails to bike or walk and benches to sit by the water and just relax. The kids will also enjoy the playground and large field to run around.

A plaque in front of the shelter in the middle of the park states:May all who enter these hallowed grounds be embraced by love, tranquility, beauty, contentment and good will. Those were the qualities that brightly marked the life of Joan M. Durante.
