Our park
A quiet getaway, right in town
Our cozy park is the perfect getaway for individuals, families, and groups. Little's Lake was left to the public in 1951 through the bequest of Miss Elizabeth C. Little, and it's cared for today by a board of directors, a caretaker, and friends like you.
Researchers and students from Siena are also working to restore the lake. Read the WAMC story.
