Wilcox Park is a lovely place to stroll and enjoy the trees and flowers, the architecture of the public library and right in the downtown in case you want to grab a picnic lunch! More

Discovered this park during annual art show but have visited this little gem many times. Great spot for Shakespeare in the summer months, wonderful spot for spring picnic lunch or sunny day winter walk. More

In the spring and summer months there is always something going on in the park. Art shows, Boston Pops, family events and just a nice place in general. More

My young family goes 2-3 times a week in the summer. The trees are tremendous and varied. The library is a great resource. The field is perfect for our small picnics. More

We really just happened upon this park. But considering that, within the past week, we've visited Flushing Meadows (Queens Botanical Garden), the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Central Park, I can't say that we're starved for high-rent garden experiences.
