  • Libby Hill
    • This seven-acre park was one of the first five parks designed by city engineer Wilfred Cutshaw during the 1850s. Picturesque carriage roads connect the park and residences on the hilltop to the river and commercial areas below. Today the park continues to function as a space for passive recreation and community gatherings, and is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the city. You’ll find runners, readers, and photographers there often, and if you’re lucky you may even spot a proposal!
    • It was designated a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. John’s Church Historic District in 1969.
