Parks & Nature
This park is named after the famous community activist by the same name and who's descendants are neighbors of ours. It was formerly named Tompkins Park which you may have heard of, if you are an art aficionado, because of William Merritt Chase's paintings. Chase lived by the park and created several famous paintings depicting our park! Today the park is a lively and safe place to enjoy some nice weather or some music in the amphitheater. Look closely and you may see the location in some of your favorite TV shows like The American's final scenes and many more!
