This large park has a unique layout -- the playground and basketball courts are separated by a large, elevated expanse of grass. The result is park that lends itself to the needs of a diverse community with areas for children, athletes and those just wishing to sit in some green space, walk a dog or throw a ball around. There are picnic tables, water fountains and shady places aplenty, but toddlers should be helped around the sharp concrete steps that are all over this park.
