Natural Beauty

Spanning 8.49 acres, this natural oasis is cherished for its rolling hills, mature trees, and serene atmosphere. The park is particularly known for its brilliant display of daffodils each spring, creating a picturesque landscape that draws visitors to admire nature's beauty.

Nestled in a residential area, Pearson Park serves as a tranquil retreat for local residents and visitors alike. The park's mature tree canopy not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also provides welcome shade during warmer months.
