Gone Wild!

During the park's renovation in 2013, trees harvested from the park were used to build the log wall surrounding this space. Most of the new trees planted at Chestnut Park are native to the area, and oaks, maples, and chestnut trees provide shade, beauty, and contribute to a sustainable landscape. A tree's rings reveal its age and can also tell a story about the types of weather and other natural events it has experienced.
