Jenks Park was built on land donated to the city by Alvin Jenks in 1890 and contains the most prominent feature, the Cogswell Clock Tower, erected in 1904.
The Tower stands atop Dexter's Ledge, which was used as an Indian lookout during King Phillip's War in 1676. There is no fee to climb and enjoy the historical site.
This "city beautiful" 4.5 acre park provides both active and passive recreation and scenic views of the surrounding landscape from the infamous tower.
