Curtis Park

A great park. One mile around so it’s easy to track your distance. Very dog friendly place. If there is sunlight there are people here, but it has never felt really crowded to me. Depending on the time of year you’ll see groups of varying ages playing organized sports. Lots of trees as well as cute interesting houses to look at. In the middle there’s a tennis court, and beside that a kid’s playground.

Lots of shade, lots of space but parking is tricky. Great for gatherings

It's a beautiful park. People walking or running with babies or their dogs. Very peaceful. I've only noticed homeless people being there once. (I reference this for safety. Sometimes I walk by myself. It can feel dangerous to walk by yourself if there are a great deal of homeless.) The park is well shaded, too.

I really like the hidden-from-street-view rooftop patios on the homes located on Crocker Drive between Sutterville Road and Veterans First Avenue. In other homes built on lots slightly larger than the house, the only way you can be outside is to stand in the street. More homes should be designed with stealth rooftop patios. Props to the builder Petrovich.

Large and peaceful park with plenty of trees, shade, grass, and space. There's also a walking trail around its perimeter. Our favorite park in the area!
