Great for running, multiple open air gyms and group exercise on the common. Regular music performances at the Band Stand, perfect on a summer day. Nice cafe nearby serves plentiful ice cream .

Great place to go for a walk in the fresh air and enjoy the scenic views of the common. Great place to go for jogging too!
