These mini-parks seem to pop up from time to time in historic districts. This one is nicely complimentary and could hardly be counted as an intrusion. The plaza/park contains a fountain in the center, several dedicated benches, many flowers, shrubs and some trees. It is a green oasis amid early to mid 19th century homes. Across the street is another park. Dedicated April 17, 2004
Funding for the park was made possible by local donors including local businesses. The dedication plaque reads:

Commission recognize and appreciate the many community organi-
zations and individuals who selflessly volunteered their time to plan
and construct the park. Let it stand as a reminder to all as to what
can be accomplished through dedicated community volunteer effort.
