Description

This compact 0.5-acre park centers around a piece of local history: it is named after a road marker set down in 1741, with a stone plaque explaining the milestone's history. Today, the space functions as a busy neighborhood hub. Visitors report a mix of experiences: some value it as a social space for older neighbors playing games, while others note the park can be dirty and smelly, with seating often fully occupied by groups playing gambling games. For a quieter moment, a bakery directly across the street serves coffee and cold drinks.
