Clarendon Park

City park

👍👍 Almost The Secret Garden, minus the flowers! It's just a little place to get away from people. If you are lucky you can sit there for a couple of hours and not see another human. Just a crazy lady and her talking teddy bear! We love the bear sculpture from a tree trunk.

Penn Road Gardens
