As Salisbury's most significant downtown green space, the Bell Tower Green will be the place where our community gathers to celebrate, connect, and engage. See The Plan Watch our Videos See The Plan Surrounded by residences, businesses, and churches, the Historic Bell Tower (c 1892) was part of First Presbyterian Church and the Salisbury Female Academy. The Bell Tower--which will be a focal point from all locations in the park--provides an inspiration for and the namesake of our park. The intimate, formal gardens surrounding the Bell Tower will be a beautiful backdrop for weddings, parties, small concerts, and holiday celebrations. The Bell Tower & Formal Gardens A weekly farmers’ market, Yoga on the Green, wine tastings, the landmark Pops at the Post concert, the Salisbury Blues and Jazz Festival, and similar events will fill the park's largest area. The circular lawn is highlighted by a handsome, versatile stage and will provide plenty of room for seating and lounging. Events & Entertainment The Bell Tower Green will draw connections between Downtown Salisbury, neighborhoods, and the organizations surrounding the park. With seasonal events for the community, interactive, creative play spaces and hammocks, outdoor reading areas near the Rowan Public Library, a restaurant with outdoor dining, and quiet areas to study, everyone will find their place at The Bell Tower Green. Connections to our Neighbors Let's Build a Park Imagine a quiet haven with three acres of green space, trees, and gardens providing shelter from the busy sidewalks and pavements of the surrounding downtown streets. A place where everyone in Rowan County--children of all ages, their parents, four-legged friends, young adults, seniors, business partners and more--can gather to find their own way to enjoy nature in Historic Downtown Salisbury.
