Friends of Quiet Waters Park

The Friends of Quiet Waters Park first Fairy House Festival and Tea Party was a big success on May 6th. Come check out these amazing fairy houses now on display along the Holly Trail next to the Holly Pavilion. These adorable creations were handmade with love and care, sure to bring a smile to everyones face. Kids big and small, come on down and explore the magical world of these enchanting structures.

This event was made possible in large part due to the Friends of Quiet Waters Park and the wonderful members who support us.
