Park Info:

Community Park located one block south of Main Street, this 6.5-acre park borders the eastern shore of the Rum River from Bridge Square to Jefferson Street.  

The park provides fabulous views of the Rum River. The Rum River Regional Trail begins at the boat launch at the south end of the park and follows the shore line to the north. Cross the Rum at the pedestrian bridge or continue northward on the trail under the Main Street Bridge. The pedestrian bridge provides excellent views of the historic Eastman Amphitheater and the remaining stone house.
