Terrace Avenue Park

This park is small and peaceful and noone was there when I went in the morning!

It was awesome, it was clean and there was nobody, my kids fully enjoyed it.

This little playground is one of those "hidden gems" you hear about. Only this gem is more of a polished piece of quartz you'd find in a stream rather than a diamond in the rough. Anyway. It's tucked in the middle of the neighborhood here so it's close by to a lot of houses. There's a nice jungle gym for the kids, a tennis court that serves as a bike park/walking track/skate park for the time being. The grassy hillside is nice to get some sun while the other side above the jungle gym serves as a dog park and it sometimes smells like it. Yuck. A word to the wise, watch your step on the grass. There's a splash pad too that is sometimes turned on so there's that. The play area is padded so injuries from falls tend to be minor. Adults will be happy to see the 3 large benches that are usually in shade in the mid-afternoon. It's a good little park overall.

It has a pretty good tennis court but recently convicts have been doing community service there, resulting in gang members gathering and blocking the entrance to the park. It has turned the park from a fun place for kids, to a place where you and your kids can no longer feel safe due to the non-stop staring of the gang members.

Nice quiet park. Not as new as other parks but my toddler still likes it. Just know there's a big hill if you're coming from Kennedy Blvd! Wipes me out every time.
