Park Map

Howe Memorial Field

Howe Memorial Field is a 30 acre park located along the banks of Spring Brook south of Brook Street and West of Hamlin Street. Across Spring Book to the east within a short walk is our Historic Downtown. Howe Memorial Field is the home of five ball diamonds, a 10,000 square foot park built by the community, called Playground of Dreams, sand volleyball and basketball courts, and picnic areas.

The Scott Munn River Walk runs along Spring Brook creating a connection with several apartment complexes and downtown businesses. The park also featuers a wooden outdoor amphitheater has been added to the northeast section of the park at W. Knight Street.

Outdoor Recreation Center

Take a trip, or many, through the Rapids at Mill pointe Park. The Rapids Project, a community-based investment, removed a Low Head Sanitation Dam and replaced it with a series of nature rack weirs with fish and kayak passage lanes. This natural beauty fills the area with the sights and sounds of bubbling water only Mother Nature can provide.
