One such space, Everhart Park, has been a social gathering space for the residents and visitors of West Chester for more than a century. Donated to the borough in 1905 by Dr. Isaiah Everhart, this public green space became West Chester’s second park. The 10-acre grove of trees was originally a part of Everhart’s farm before he donated the lot to the borough. Just a few years after the donation, a number of rare trees were planted in the park, some of which still stand today. Modern-day Everhart Park features a gazebo, rustic footbridge, playground, basketball court, grill, picnic area, and activity building.
