A visit to Francis William Bird Park is a detour into nature in pursuit of play, no matter your age. Rolling fields lined by tree groves, a trio of ponds, and gurgling brooks comprise a lovely, organic tableau. The abundance of carefree recreation is testament to park designer John Nolen--a disciple of Frederick Law Olmsted--and his belief that a mixture of relaxation and active play should be parts of the park experience.
