Really charming and fun place to visit. The park has a great artistic vibe with galleries, studios, and historic buildings. It’s nice for a relaxed walk and there are often events or activities going on. Great spot to spend some time outdoors and enjoy something a bit different.

Fantastic park with many activities for the community.

One of the better places to dance, if you're coming from VA it's just after the bridge meaning you've only got to deal with a little bit of that terrible traffic.
