Images: Icons of Deer Park

We spent some time exploring Deer Park, taking pictures of things that grabbed our attention. They showed both sides of the community — serene and bustling — that are unique to Deer Park.

Look for a new “Icons of ...” town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. On our social media sites, share your favorite Deer Park photos with us by using #shareyoursuburb.

And tell us what photos are your favorites. Which ones stir a memory for you? Where do you love to go in town?
