Nestled next to the serene Crane River and surrounded by serene trees, Crane Park is a charming hidden gem. This park is where I usually run on Saturdays for the parkrun. Constructed in 1828 to produce copper lead pellets for firearms, the Shot tower is an intriguing building. Before hitting the water, the red-hot copper would fall from the top and take the shape of a ball.

Ascent of the Tower is free, though donations are welcome.

Shot tower is nice, shows the history of the area. No prices are listed on the menu at the cafe so I won't know how much I'm paying, missed out on my custom a couple of times now as a result.
