This quiet neighborhood park does not allow dogs or bikes, making it a perfect place to read or nap on one of the many park benches. But an even better option is to walk through the winding trails and stop and smell the roses.
"Corby Rose Garden was originally owned by a prominent business man named Henry Corby who moved to Belleville from England in 1832.
Over the years Mr. Corby and his family had been instrumental in encouraging and assisting Belleville in its growth as a community. A neighboring town that housed the family distillery was named Corbyville in his honor.
Corby Park, as it was titled, was donated to the city of Belleville in 1905."
