Gladys Potter Park

Lovely Gladys Potter Park on Humbolt Avenue was dedicated exactly 100 years ago. The park is named in memory of Gladys Arnold Potter, the only child of Isaac Mathewson Potter and Josephine Elizabeth Arnold Potter. Gladys enjoyed walking with her father in the area where today’s park now exists. The 1.2 acre park is welcoming to all and is especially delightful for very young children, with many features meant for toddlers.
