Central Park

Central Park encompasses 215 acres of land with forested trails, duck ponds, tennis courts, and the prominent Swangard Stadium at its northwest corner.

The land started as a naval reserve in 1891, designated for providing masts and spars to Royal Navy ships before becoming a public recreation space.

The Korean War Memorial stands on the east side of the park, offering a dedicated space to remember those who served in the conflict.

The park features 12 tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a pitch and putt golf course, and multiple parking areas with 25 accessible spots.

The park contains second-growth forest sections where new trees grow from stumps dating back to logging operations in the 1890s.
