Natick Massachusetts has their farmers market every Saturday on the Town Common (most New England towns have commons in the middle of town; used to be common grazing areas, now they are town parks/green spaces.
I just took a look at page one of the state listing of farmers markets in massachusetts. Of the eight listed, four were on municipal parkland, town commons, library ground, etc. It is very common.

I am wondering if there are any examples out there of farmers markets in
public (city) parks that we could use to bolster our case with the local
parks commission. Thanks.
