Once part of the Deering family estate, this area became a public park in 1879 and remains mostly true to its original plan today.
When I stopped by, it...
Excellent modernized playground in great condition. Especially worth a stop for out of town folks with kids. Plenty of parking on the road adjacent to it...
Splash area is fantastic, though a bit hard to find if it's your first visit. And the playground is amazing. Pack a lunch and you could spend all day there.
