ABOUT THE PARK

Thanks to the generous donation by Don and Joanne Rockwood, this 1-acre urban park opened in the summer of 2015. This mostly open green space serves as a valuable asset to area residents both as a community resource and a tree-shaded spot to take a stroll. The park has signs identifying various tree species and benches to enjoy the flora and fauna. Learn more here.
