“That is exactly what it is”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2013

It's a mound... with a sign. Walking distance from the Hall of Fame, across the bridge and up the hill.

“Historic and moving”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2012

We came to this spot to find a letterbox and found the area to be quite relaxing and serene. A bit of history, not just baseball.

“Pretty park”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

If you have kids who need to run, this is a big open space on the Susquehanna River. We did a letterbox which is what brought us to the spot. The Clark Bridge is in the park. Pretty spot.

“Another freebie in Cooperstown!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

This place is not in tour guides and most people miss it completely. Its free and interesting! Walk back towards Bassett Hospital and you will find an amazing and beautiful stone bridge.

“Minor stop on a long walk or bike ride”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

A man made mound of dirt with a plaque, and the plaque was difficult to read. May be some bones in the mound. In a pretty park across from an interesting mansion. Would not go out of my way to get here, but it's close to Main Street, a little off the beaten path. Happened to be on our way... More
