This
5-acre
park
is
the
oldest
public
square
in
the
state
of
Washington,
and
is
located
right
in
the
heart
of
downtown
Vancouver.
You
can
pretty
much
walk
anywhere
downtown
from
here.
The
Vancouver
waterfront
is
just
a
short
walk
away
(just
cross
the
street)
along
with
Fort
Vancouver,
Pearson
Air
Field
and
Museum,
the
Discovery
Loop,
the
Vancouver
Land
Bridge,
restaurants
and
shopping
galore;
the
entertainment
is
endless.
I
found
the
most
interesting
part
about
this
park
to
be
the
clock
tower,
but
you
will
also
find
the
Slocum
House,
a
beautiful
gazebo,
picnic
shelter/stage,
a
Victorian
rose
garden
(I
will
come
back
in
Spring
to
see
this
in
bloom,
because
I
know
it
will
be
just
stunning),
a
well
maintained
playground,
seasonal
water
features,
and
a
walking
path
around
the
park
which
includes
several
pieces
of
art
among
mature
trees
here
as
well,
as
you
will
see
from
my
photos/videos.
It
is
lined
with
benches,
so
you
can
sit
and
people
watch,
which
is
always
fun
to
do
when
downtown
in
any
big
city.
Also,
many
different
events
are
held
here,
such
as
the
Farmers
Market
(mid-March
through
October)
and
a
variety
of
summer
festivals.
I
definitely
recommend
checking
this
park
out.
With
so
much
to
do,
seeing
it
is
smack
dab
in
the
middle
of
everything,
you
can't
go
wrong.
