Broadway Gardens Fountain
Park
👍👍 Adjacent to the Broadway theater are the gardens bearing the same name. Although it was a slightly rainy morning, it was still great to walk in the green and beautiful area of the city. The fountains are a prominent landmark in the place. The garden serves as a suitable setting for them.

👍👍 Right in the center of the town, there is the perfect park for spending time on a sunny day. It is especially nice to come here with children and babies. Dozens of mothers with baby strollers in the place will testify to this.
On the day we were there, there were several classes of school children...

Ivel Springs
Nature preserve
👍 Nice fenced off area to start the walk in. We left the meadow area (fenced off bit) & followed the sign posted walk, even doing this the walk only took about half an hour, I believe there are further walks but none of these loop you back to the car park. The actual car park is poorly signposted, we...

King Georges Park
Park
👍👍 Lovely little park for all ages. Plenty of green open spaces around. More than adequate parking nearby. There is a football cage next to it as well. Very clean and tidy and the big slide is super fast. Certainly far enough away from any roads or any major hazards. Like that there is grating to enter...
