These gardens were revitalized with the efforts of the local garden club.

Started in 1932, the sunken gardens were developed inside Forest Park. The gardens were restored starting in 2009.  The lush garden and its scenic surroundings are open to the public and are available for weddings, reunions, and more.  There are raised beds, a fountain, walkway, sculptures, and more.
