Central Park

Central Park in downtown Johnstown could be a great place when given some much needed love. It is in the center of what I would assume is the business district for this small city.
Central Park is located on a fairly nice piece of land in the heart of downtown Johnstown. It’s not as big as some Central Parks you may come across in other cities/​towns, but it is just right for the size and location in this city. Enough space to have a fountain in the center, pathways that crisscross, and a gazebo big enough to accommodate a band on the warmer months.
I’ll be honest, I have only ever really visited this park when in the winter. I know it’s weird, but I suppose I am drawn here in the winter due to the holiday displays. Sponsored by businesses throughout the Johnstown area, Santa’s village (as I call it) lines the pathways. In the center is a tree that was recently installed. When lit, it dances along to music. A different display for each song. It is pretty amazing and draws many people to view it.
I really hope for the sake of Johnstown that the investment they made for this tree continues for the park. Making this park beautiful will draw people here and businesses nearby. It’s always nice to have an oasis in the middle of all the buildings and streets.
