Description

Easy to notice only when walking directly past, this spot opens into a practical court setup under tree shade. Basketball players get updated glass rims, though the street-facing fence means stray balls can bounce out toward the sidewalk. The handball layout offers a park feature that is less common nowadays, serving well for casual games or permitted gatherings, though court cleanliness can depend on recent rain.
