Central Park 

History:

Central Park was established in 1852 when the land was donated to the town by Horatio N. Bigelow. The four-acre lot contains two war monuments, one for Clinton residents who served in the Spanish-American War, and the other, a Civil War monument. A playful bronze statue of children playing resides in the center of the park dedicated in honor of David Brody, Goldie Brody and the Van Brode Companies for their many business, charitable and civic contributions to the town. A sundial can also be found on the south side of the park, and the “Foster Fountain” on the north side of the park. The Foster Fountain was given to the town by John R. Foster in 1890 and later was destroyed in the hurricane of 1938. A replica fountain was fabricated from the original Fiske Iron Works patterns and re-dedicated by the Town of Clinton on September 9, 2000.
