James I. • April 22, 2011Separated playground spaces for younger and older kids, and then a separate big sprinkler space. Great park.

J Crowley • February 27, 2011fun fact: just to the west of the park is the birthplace of Al Capone at 95 Navy Street.

James I. • April 28, 2012Good shade, and sprinklers, during the summer. Traffic along futon makes it a little nerve-wracking with tiny kids. More of a 4 year old and up park. Good for practicing bikes with kids.
