The Bartlet Mall and Frog Pond is the City of Newburyport's most visually prominent municipal park. Centrally located on High Street at one of the main gateways to the City's downtown, the 7.3-acre park is an easy walk from the central business district as well as a number of residential neighborhoods and schools. Its walkways and main promenade are a prime destination for runners, strollers, and dog walkers, and the site plays a major role in hosting several annual festivals.
