It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you’re at Walnut Park, a scenic, relaxing public park right in the heart of Webster. Locals love this grassy area for its tall, shady trees, its paved walking trails and the overall charm that you’ll find throughout. There are old fashioned pavilions dotting the park’s grounds, which are always decorated with twinkling lights around the holidays. The running and walking trails are well maintained and perfect for nice, long runs outdoors, but they’re also smooth enough for a relaxing stroll with friends or your little ones.

Kids will love Walnut Park’s playground area, which is filled with climbing equipment and swing sets for children of all ages, while parents will enjoy the numerous benches nearby that make it easy to keep an eye on your kids while they play. No matter how you like to spend your time outdoors, there’s something for everyone at Walnut Park.
