A little cold never scares the good people of Vermont, so grab your hat and coat and be sure to explore all the places we love when the weather is warmer. Let’s start with a winter-friendly park in Burlington – Battery Park. With its amazing views, playground, historical monuments and even ice skating, you won’t want to miss it this winter!
At the top of Battery Street in Downtown Burlington, you’ll find this lovely winter-friendly park.

Two other noteworthy monuments in the park include an 8 foot tall bronze statue of Vermont’s famous civil war General William W. Wells and a red oak sculpture acknowledging the heritage of the American Indians which is named “Greylock” after a renowned Abenaki Indian chief.
