Gorgeous 90 acre park designed by the same park designer who created NYC's Central Park. Check out the formal European style Duncan Garden, the tranquil Japanese garden, the rose garden, lilac garden and my personal favorite the perennial garden. The little cafe in the middle of the park near the lake has food, coffee and ice cream in the summer months. One of my favorite things to do is also wander the neighborhoods around the park as the historic homes here are incredible!
