And the outdoor space is perfect for playing fun games like kickball, dodgeball, or tag.

Another great feature to this park is that you can use the area to host birthday parties for the kids, as well as barbecues. There’s also a sand volleyball court, place to play hopscotch, and 2 four square courts. Even though it’s a pretty large space, it’s still easy to keep an eye on the kids. So I’d definitely recommend checking this park out!

A second park that is close to the community is Beckenham Park, located off of Wilkes Place and Beckenham St. A colorful playground with concrete turtles, this is a cute place to meet other families for morning playdates.
