    The trees are nice. If it is raining you can stay absolutely dry under the umbrella of branches on at least 1 of the big trees in this park.

    Get here early for the farmers market. Not crowded and you get the best selection of produce at 9am when it opens.

    This is a beautiful park, located in the heart of downtown. Unfortunately, it can get crowded quickly, so only go here if you enjoy chaos. :) Read more
