A Living Classroom

Center Park is Carlisle's place for education on plantings and best practices in gardening. In 2026 we will be the 19th year since an abandoned lot was turned into Center Park and our 7th year since a dedicated group of volunteers began a new style of stewardship to enhance beautiful Carlisle Center Park. Come visit any day dawn to dusk to take in the natural beauty of this pocket park and to get inspiration for your own landscape.​​

Open dawn to dusk

Come tour our little park and see how many plants are now labeled. Many are native and might thrive in your landscape too! We have plans for a new tool storage shed, an upgrade to our compost bins, and ideas for a new picnic table area that will encourage visitors to have picnics and gatherings. Please come to one or more free garden classes where you can learn to identify weeds, get guidance for what thrives in Carlisle in sun and shade, dry and moist conditions. Bring your questions. The interests of the students guide what we do and discuss each class.

  • ​​Directions:  From the Carlisle rotary go north on Lowell Street. Turn right into the parking area just after Ferns.
