Acreage 0.03<br />

Park Type Neighborhood<br />

Location Tower Ave., between Pine <strong>and</strong> Magnolia<br />

Description<br />

This “pocket” park fronting Tower Avenue was acquired by<br />

<strong>Centralia</strong> in 1970. The dilapidated building located on this site<br />

was demolished <strong>and</strong> park improvements were funded through a<br />

Local Improvement District This park links with a public<br />

parking lot behind the business district <strong>and</strong> provides a green<br />

respite from the hard surfaces <strong>of</strong> the downtown during the warm<br />

weather. The park is generally in good condition, appropriately<br />

furnished <strong>and</strong> a popular attraction for shoppers <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

workers. This site also serves as a staging area for special <strong>and</strong><br />

community events.<br />
