The park features a permanent outdoor sculpture by a local artist, which was installed as part of a city initiative to integrate art into public spaces.
Hornbeam Park is named after the hornbeam tree, a species native to the area and known for its hard wood and distinctive bark.
The park hosts a community garden where local residents can rent plots to grow their own vegetables and flowers.
Hornbeam Park has implemented several eco-friendly practices, including solar-powered lighting and a rainwater collection system for irrigation.
The land where Hornbeam Park now sits was once part of a 19th-century farm, and remnants of the original barn foundation can still be seen.
