About Central Park & Japanese Garden
A sixteen-acre downtown park with a 1960s Japanese tea garden and koi ponds, a kids playground, and tennis courts. The beloved miniature train that ran here since the late 1940s is retired for now while the city looks for a replacement, but the garden and playground keep it a downtown favorite.
