Established in 1904, it is one of the largest public parks in Milton. The town's public pool is here, opening in early June and closing in late August. Pool passes and swimming lessons are offered throughout the summer season at the price of $100 per family and $2 per pass. During winter months, the brook located behind the pool is offered for public skating when frozen. The park also includes Cunningham Hall, a community meeting place with a bowling alley in the lower level that is open from about September to April. The park is also home to baseball fields, tennis and basketball courts, and a playground for children of different ages.
