Reviews
“First Street Park, at the foot of Edison St., is nestled against the woods. It has horseshoe pits, a few picnic tables, and a Porta-Potty during warm weather. There are twelve pits now, the last two added a couple of years ago as an Eagle Scout project completed by Steve Dootz.” (Horseshoes with the Dexter Ringers, Nancy Clay, Sept. 1, 2015)
It could be spruced up a bit, but it’s a park tailor-made for tossing some horseshoes, which is super fun. In addition to the picnic tables, there is a small public grill available. It was originally created by and for the Dexter Ringers Club with help from local businesses like Cribley Drilling and Busch’s.
