The oldest publicly funded public park in the country, Bushnell Park is a lovely green space easily accesible from downtown. The park is home to Corning fountain, Lily Pond, and an historic carousel. If you're looking for a longer outing, you can easily run to Elizabeth Park or the riverside from here.
