Lofty oak trees and a magnificent view of Carter's Mountain highlight the 7.35 acres of rolling land which make up this popular park, which was originally known as Forest Park. Located on Forest Hills Avenue, the City acquired the property from J. Hubert and Dorothy Carver in 1955.
Today there are extensively developed activity areas for individuals of all ages. A practice ball field and paved neighborhood trail lie at the lowest end of the site near the paved parking area. On the hillside slopes nearby are a number of picnic facilities, including a picnic shelter and outdoor grills. On the promontory ridge is an abundance of playground equipment, including slides, swing sets, a merry-go-round, animal rockers, and a horseshoe pit. At the head of the valley is a large flat area containing two full basketball courts and two wading pools with a swing set.
The park is open 6AM to 9PM.
