With immediate access to the river and a thin riparian zone, this small city park has realized potential for waterfowl, shorebirds, and neotropical passerines. There is a gravel bar on the upstream side of the park that is the best area to find river going shorebirds like Spotted and Solitary Sandpipers and Killdeer. The gravel bar also hosts a scrubby area that may be productive for sparrows and skulky warblers. Scanning the large sycamores along the riparian corridor may produce views of a nesting Baltimore Oriole.
Since this is next to a playground, it is advisable to avoid peak playground hours on nice days.
Accessibility: Main Street park has a small parking area and is open to visitors 7 days a week.
