Fairmount Park

Fairmount Park

Fairmount Park features a children's playground, two ball diamonds, and a multi-purpose sports field that are great for casual or group games. There are also five tennis courts and pickleball courts on some of these courts, along with an indoor pool in the park's Community Center for swimming and water exercise. In the summer, there is a wading pool, and in the winter, a natural ice rink is activated in the park, adding seasonal charm to the visit.
