Alice Carter Park

A Slice of History

Tucked away since 1922, this charming 1.36-acre triangular green space sits at the meeting point of Meridian Street and Westfield Boulevard in Washington Township.

Green Breathing Space

Alice Carter Park offers a refreshing patch of greenery in an otherwise busy residential area. If you're one of the 26,000 drivers who pass by daily, you've probably appreciated this visual breather amid the urban landscape.

Its spot right next to the Canal Towpath Greenway Trail makes it an excellent jumping-off point if you're looking to explore this recreational path.

What You'll Find

The park has a rather unique feature - a small brick building that is a Department of Public Works sanitary lift station. Not exactly glamorous, but part of the park's character nonetheless.

Over the years, Alice Carter Park has seen various improvements guided by a thoughtful master plan created in 2005. These enhancements were designed to strengthen the park's identity as a welcoming gateway to the North Meridian Street Historic District while making it a more functional green space for the neighborhood.

Neighborhood Love

Local community groups, especially the Meridian Street Foundation, have been rolling up their sleeves to make this little park even better.

They've been working on plans to add new features that would make the space more inviting and interesting for visitors of all ages - proving that sometimes the smallest parks receive the biggest community care.
