Reviewed By dustythoughts - Manchester, United States
This fantastic park is the perfect place to enjoy good weather. There are sculpted lawns, bike and walking paths, a sedate river, and areas to play tennis, baseball, and miniature golf. If you want a romantic visit, take pictures on the covered bridges. Definitely a good place to spend a day, especially during the pandemic.
