Here’s just some of the exciting things we’ll be checking out at Commonwealth Park….

Delicious Food

There’s plenty of foodie experiences on offer with food trucks galore. If fine dining is more your style, check out Lobster & Co. Their core menu item is a Lobster Roll served with fennel slaw on a brioche bun, truffle fires on the side and a glass of champagne.
