Wooded French Park
 
This 2-acre park is located at the corner of Water and Steele Streets.   The park provides numerous opportunities for both passive and active recreation.  Joggers, hikers, bikers, and skaters can use the park as a staging area to link-up with the both sections of the city's Linear Park.  A raised plateau of green space amongst mature trees provides an excellent site for a lunch-time or family picnic.  An open space down below provides opportunities for an informal game of touch football or other games.  The park land was generously donated to the city by the French Family.
 
Location: Steele Street & Water Streets
Park Hours: 6:00 am to 10:00 pm
