Central Park in Peterborough is an absolutely well-maintained park where no attention to detail has been spared. It is located in a very nice residential area. The park itself has plenty of green space, park benches throughout, the Jimmy, the donkey memorial, a very nice playground featuring numerous play structures, peace, Garden, basketball court and tennis courts. An absolute pleasure to visit this park. Very clean, very family, friendly, and overall a wonderful place. I highly recommend.
