Always a nice stroll around town while picking up some great food, either from numerous cafés or the Monday Food Trucks...nice safe family fun!
It is a beautiful park, there are always some activities going on, families, etc. there are plenty of eateries surrounding the park so you have your pick of either italian, chinese, thai, salads, seafood, etc.
Happy we chose to take a cab then to drive.....there were about 20 food trucks.....too bad we couldn't try a bit from each but the portions are too large and would be pricey.......had some fish taco, grill cheese with ground beef, caramelized onion and bacon....., deep fried hot dog with homemade relish from the Jersey Dawg...garlic lobster roll from The Lobsta Guy.......pizza from The Nostra Pizza.......freshly made gellato and ice cream forget the two trucks name......overall a nice evening, lots of people......both local and tourists.....there is more at this park....perhaps return to see more.......if you are a foodie you will enjoy a few hours of eating here......
It was really nice walking around here. There is a nice playground, and even sprinklers. There are also nice paths and foliage. The glass blowing shop there was really nice, and you can make your own piece.
lot of unsavory people and it takes away from the area , because it is nice ..i was kindc of aware of my surroundings
Really nice place to sit down after a ride ou a walk, refreshing and with public restrooms and drinking fountain!!
You would think they would have much better control of the homeless always begging for money as you walk with your kids through the park. You're always afraid of muggers HORRIBLE!
Terrible traffic. Didn't enjoy the park much, but managed to do some shopping. The historic downtown is nothing much.
I like the Arts Park first of all because many of the events are Free! There is Food Trucks every Monday, 5:30 - 10pm. Funtastic Friday for the kid, 5-8. There is also a free movie night! Just to add in case you didn't know, there are several featured artist at various times and their works are on displayed in the Arts Park gallery. You should especially go by and visit the glass blowing exhibit. I have taken a few of our visiting guest there for a live demonstration. It's a treat!
I was looking for a shopping area with cute boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. Many storefronts were closed down and the remaining shops were selling chintzy, junky stuff. This was a waste of time.
