Featured Park
Harriman Circle Park is a passive area with a lake and a pumping station. The park was named after the street surrounding the site, Harriman Circle.
This land was purchased in March 1964, and the water body was originally a natural lake. With the build up of residential homes surrounding the site, the lake filled up with sediment and became choked with aquatic plant life. Extensive renovations were required to return the lake to its former condition during 2000.
The tranquil park has 7.5 acres of land with picnic tables and park benches. A nicely landscaped garden area was developed in memory of Spurgeon Camp (1925-2003), a former City Commissioner and Mayor.
The large open green space with tall pines makes the quiet park a peaceful site in which to relax.
