The two smallest parks, Rodebaugh Park and
Livingston
House Park, provide playground equipment and plenty of open space in
pleasant country settings. Picnic tables are scattered throughout the delightful grounds
of Livingston House.
Huber Park

on Daugherty Drive, is the newest city park. Still under development, it is used for youth
