Mrs. Stock’s Park, Hillsdale
Although the entire city of Hillsdale has beautiful foliage during the warmer months, Mrs. Stock’s Park is a clean, idyllic garden perfect for picnic dates.
Although it does not have the depth and breadth of the large body of water of Baw Beese Lake, it does have a small pond, a soft, green clearing, and benches throughout. The paths offer a pleasant place to walk, and the field presents an open space for picnics, lawn games, and gatherings. Crossing the bridge over the pond, there is a small island with two benches. Throughout, there’s plenty of shade and sun, with a little bench nestled in a clearing of trees.
All together, the park is smaller than some others, but is well-kept, gated, and shaded. The park is located just across East Bacon Street from the F.W. Stock and Sons Mill, so it is close to the city, but quiet and set apart.
