Completed in 1912, the chapel was the first permanent church structure to be built in Parker. Ruth Memorial Chapel is now a wonderfully restored historical landmark that’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A white, clapboard exterior opens into a warm interior featuring a beautiful hardwood floor, traditional wooden pews, frosted glass windows, and unadorned walls.

Discovery Park, located next to Parker’s library, the park and plaza on Mainstreet and Pine Drive is a unique destination. With interactive fountains in the summer, a vibrant ice trail in the winter, and performances and events throughout the year, the 1.5-acre park is an all-season community gathering place.
