No. 97: Barbara Johnson Park and Preserve at Baxter’s Pond
Tranquility just steps away from downtown.
The 5.4-acre offers a respite just steps away from the busy intersection of Central Drive and Shore Road.
With its walkways and trail, Baxter’s Pond is the perfect destination for a micro-getaway. Here, visitors enjoy the sounds of the spillway’s waterfall and the stream at the inland end of the pond. In spring, you’ll find watchful geese protecting their young, as well as wonderful opportunities for bird-watching. And throughout the warm months, colorful plantings abound.
Almost any time of year, this setting is ideal for nature lovers and photographers striving to capture its beauty. It’s the perfect spot to take in a quiet moment in the heart of the peninsula.
