FROM A BIRD'S EYE VIEW...

Herschel Young Park, named for a previous Chief of Police and active community member, has many stories to tell. Every Christmas, Santa himself makes a pit stop here, spreading holiday cheer and making dreams come true. And If you're into spine-tingling tales, you'll love this: during the Ghost Tours, folks have whispered about spotting the ghost of Richard H. Barter, aka "Rattlesnake Dick," lurking in the shadows. Talk about a thrill!

The fun doesn't stop there! Remember that scene in the movie “Phenomenon” where John Travolta sees the bright light descend from the sky,? Yeah, that's right across from Herschel Young Park! So whether you're rubbing elbows with Santa, ghost hunting with Rattlesnake Dick, or feeling like a movie star, Herschel Young Park is where the magic happens!
