Discover Edgewood: Parks, Market and Murals

Edgewood combines nature experiences, community culture and practical travel options into a destination with diverse facets. Those looking for a vacation rental or holiday home can tailor their stay to the experiences they want: exercise in the park, time by the water, a seasonal market visit or a look at local art each create their own daily rhythm.

Parks for Exercise and Water Experiences

Mildred C. Kelly Park features military-themed playground facilities and a walking path. This gives the park two different reasons to visit: families with children can discover the distinctive design of the playground facilities, while a walk provides a quieter part of the stay. Both elements can be incorporated into your personal daily planning without reducing the park to just one activity.

Flying Point Park offers a different landscape perspective as a waterfront park. The park also has a boat ramp. Those who want to include the character of a water-based outing in their travel planning will find a specific place with its own distinctive character here. When choosing your accommodation, it may be helpful to consider in advance whether you want to focus more on walks, playground facilities or water experiences.

Market and Local Design

The farmers' market in Edgewood takes place from April to November on the first Sunday of each month. This regular schedule helps with seasonal planning: if your stay falls within this period, you can mark the first Sunday as a possible market day. The market complements trips to the parks with a recurring local event, without implying that it is a year-round program.

A cultural highlight is the mural “Diversity is Beautiful.” It was designed and painted by students at Edgewood High School and created as a gift to the community. The work shows how local creativity and community engagement come together in public spaces. For visitors seeking cultural impressions in addition to nature and exercise, the mural is one of Edgewood's independent discoveries.
