The town's website does not even acknowledge the existence of this park, but it is definitely there, I got the pics to prove it. The park is loaded with war memorials and a whole bunch of dedicated benches. There is a great, big gazebo and a small playground next to a school. I cannot figure out if the playground belongs to the park or the school.

The park has a main path, a ton of grass, lots of shade and of course plenty of trees to make that shade. The park is definitely not a playground, more of a place to take a stroll.
