Redwood Park
Situated on a steeply sloping wooded hill, this park was once part of early pioneer David Brown's homestead. When his twin sons, David and Peter, were 21 he gave them each 40 acres on the hilltop which had been logged. They immediately began to replant it with exotic species of trees from around the world, and constructed a two-storey tree house. Today, Redwood Park is a major collection of exotic tree species, particularly evergreens.
