Sunken Garden Park derives its name from the main focal point, a sunken pond in the shape of a wooden shoe. A wide variety of formal tulip beds, trees, a windmill, turn-of-the-century benches, and light poles are showcased in the rest of the park. The park is a year-round tourist attraction, especially in the spring with its 15,000 plus tulips in bloom. Ice skating is enjoyed by many during the winter months. The park is located three blocks north of the square on Main Street (1100 block).
