P arks & Rec are abundant around every bend in Quincy. The Park District alone is comprised of 30 city parks, ranging from magnificent riverside locations to vast acreage devoted to recreational pas- times and trails. Many parks are home to popular annual sporting events. The Quincy Grand Prix of Karting has garnered some of the largest numbers of spectators in history and is held in historic and curvaceous South Park (above), offering one of the most unique tracks in the world.
