Laurel Park Celebrates 100 Years

Residents gathered Saturday, July 5 at the town’s Laurel Green Park to mark a milestone. A Centennial picnic of BBQ, beer and festive jazz tunes were enjoyed by many on a summer afternoon . Laurel Park incorporated in 1925 but history dates back to its beginnings in the late 1800s as a recreation destination. Today nearly 3,000 people call it home including some of Somersby Park’s very own.
