Etruria Park was laid out in Etruria Valley at the start of the 20th century opposite Josiah Wedgwood's Etruria pottery works and Earl Granville Shelton iron works. Now neither the pottery or iron works remain and a walk through the small park reveals well laid out flower beds with tennis sand basketball courts, a playground and two bowling greens. In the park is a fountain (1904) presented by the Shirley brothers of Etruria bone and flint mill. http://www.thepotteries.org/parks/etruria/
