Comments:
Has a rich history rooted in the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, who once owned the land. Originally purchased in 1921 to provide athletic facilities for Quaker school students, this park offers expansive lawns, a field house, tennis courts, fenced baseball diamonds with bleachers, and soccer fields. Notably, it features a specially designed playground for toddlers, added in 2006 as part of a capital project. Friends Field's evolution from a Quaker sports hub to a community park reflects its enduring commitment to recreation and inclusivity.
