Parks & Nature
The Saturday Farmers' Market runs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. the Pride Festival and the Festival of Many Nations are annual events, but this is a lovely place for a walk at any time. Tennis courts and basketball courts are at the western side of the park, along with a playground. At one end of the pond is a wading pool that delights everyone on hot days, and in the winter the pond ice is groomed for skating. The rose garden between High and State Streets has become ever more beautiful after a transition to shrub roses.
