Overview:
The geometry of this park is both small and striking with a triangular shape and paths. There is a slight elevation to the park, resulting in the bench placement being at a slight pitch. Aplant bed, blocking the view into the park, dominates the front entrance at the tip of the triangle. The mature trees, ornamental site furniture such as benches, tables, and period light fixtures also define the character of this park.
Park History:
The Town accepted this triangle from the heirs of Marshall Stearns in 1897 with the restriction that no buildings are to be erected on the property. It was renovated in 1995.
Deed/Title Restrictions
The Town acquired the property from William Stearns and Hannah Swift in 1897 under the condition that "the premises shall be forever kept open for the benefit of light and air for the convenience and comfort of all..."
