Lower Park’s focus is on athletic events and pickup sports, with a soccer field, sports pavilion, pickleball courts, futsal court and basketball courts. Myriad Botanical Gardens , the 17-acre public park in downtown, is home to beautiful flora from all over the world, seasonal water features, Mo’s Carousel, mixed media art and an expansive outdoor playground that is perfect for kids to run around and make some new friends. Year-round programming includes a wide variety of local and regional musical acts, yoga, Zumba and a wide variety of workshops and tours.
