Chippawa Park

Chippawa Park is a great space for anyone to unwind and relax. The park has great features, such as paths with accessible walkways, a splash pad, lots of nature and greenery, playgrounds, etc., making it ideal for families, groups, or even those spending time solo.

The set, a bronze statue featuring Ablan Leon, Leon’s Furniture founder, sitting on a couch with two recliner chairs and a coffee table, was unveiled at the Chippawa Park Rose Garden in 2009.
