Governor John A. Notte, Jr. Park

Notte Park is a wonderful alternative to South County Beaches.  This quaint and peaceful park boasts a ball field, tennis courts, swings for small children, and a rustic, serene feel that makes you forget that you are only minutes from the “hustle and bustle” of Mineral Spring Avenue!  Our American Red Cross and State-Certified Lifeguards are on duty as of July 1st, 2010 until Labor Day.
