Stevens Square Park

Located in the heart of Princeville, this city block size park offers a downtown retreat from the shopping. Just off the busy downtown business district the center of the park is graced by the new gazebo built in 2001. The gazebo resembles a much earlier bandstand built in 1910. Throughout the year Stevens Square singers and bands, talent shows, Christmas carols and area activities. A great place sit for lunch or walk with the family.
