Description

Elevation: 942 ft.

This multi-use park facility offers a playscape, tennis courts, and ballfields. Situated on 23 acres of gently rolling hills, these manicured grounds are best for birding during migration. A few large oak and maple trees may temporarily hold neotropical treasures such as warbling vireo, blackpoll, black-throated green, pine, and bay-breasted warblers during migration. One can also find summer breeders such as yellow-billed cuckoo, ruby-throated hummingbird and year-round residents such as song sparrow and brown thrasher. There are no developed trails within this park, but the open fields and grassy hills allow for easy walking access.
