Brooks (Gwendolyn) Park

This small neighborhood park is named after the poet Gwendolyn Brooks and features a small playground at water spray feature. The playground is divided into two sections. The smaller section is for younger children and features a small play structure and a set of toddler swings; the other section is for older children and features a structure with larger slides and other swings. The water spray feature is a standard four sprayer. The classic playground features - wood chips and a few wooden benches - are all the amenities offered at this site. The entire park is fenced from the street but is not fully enclosed. It's a solid neighborhood park and playground.

It's a fairly large space for children to run in. 2 smaller parks for young children and slightly older children. Well maintained clean and friendly neighborhood atmosphere, also not too over-crowded gets a 5 star rating from myself and my niece ^_^.

A great little park. Nice equipment, but a part of the park backs on to some poorly maintained real estate. Could at least fence that off. Watched the eclipse here (which was a bust).

Nice open grassy space that allows for a good game of tag or hide and seek. Nice kid friendly park probably for ages 3-10.
