Gratz Park

Beautiful little hidden gem where families and locals come to enjoy and hang out. Great scenery and very close to University of Transylvania. They allow pets in service animals. Did you take a brisk walk around the park, you can see all the beautiful houses that line the streets all around the park. This whole area is just stunning! This is a must see

This a nice quiet little park, just a few blocks away from downtown. I can’t say how much its normally used (since it’s so close to Transy campus, I would assume quite a bit). This weekend my wife and I attended the Mayfest Arts Festival. I will definitely be back. A ton of local arts vendors (prints, paintings, pottery, jewelry, crafts) selling their wares at ridiculously low prices. I really enjoyed how most of the booths were set up around the park instead of right in the middle of it, so if you needed a moment to cool off and rest, there was plenty of space available. Lots of food vendors attended this event as well, including lots of locals, such as Thai & Mighty, Crank & Boom, and The Cheezy Mac. There was also a small petting zoo, featuring goats, sheep, alpacas, and a bunny. Yep, just one bunny.
I can’t speak for this park most of the year, but during the yearly Mayfest Arts Festival, it is a delight.
