The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to tell you about the blooming Appletree Square!

Appletree Square is a 2 acre park located on Appletree Court. It was cleverly named after the road on which it is located, but later, was also planted with a Crabapple Arboretum. There are 9 varieties of crabapple trees within this property and, if you follow the recreational trail through the tunnel to Jennerjohn Park, you will find several more! Each tree has a name plate at its base showing what type of crabapple it is.

Although there isn’t a playground at this park, you’ll still find plenty to enjoy! There is an abundance of green space, recreational trail access, park bench, and a Free Little Library that was built and installed by local Girl Scouts.
