Garfield Park
Garfield Park is a small neighborhood park nestled in our residential area and has play equipment for children and a small pavilion. It is located on Garfield Street two blocks north of Route 30. The equipment at this park is geared for the younger children. Play equipment includes swings and a modular playset. There is ample open space for just running or playing small group games.
Streamside Park
Streamside Park is just that, a park along our local stream, Little Rock Creek on S. Sycamore Street. While there is no play equipment at Streamside Park, it is a quiet open space providing the perfect place to take youngsters to fish in the spring or to sit by and enjoy the sounds of the small creek.
