City Parks
With the great weather we have for much of the year, Commerce offers a lot of choices when it comes to getting outside and enjoying the sun. Whether you want to let your children play on the playground while you enjoy the shade of the gazebo at Spencer Park or picnic at the pavilion in Willoughby Park, Commerce can offer the whole family the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
