Foege Park

A stroll around the perimeter takes roughly a five-minute walk, making the grounds too compact to really stretch your legs or a dog's, yet it gathers an unexpected variety of scenery. Natural hills roll past a well-maintained lawn down toward a pond with wild birds, flanked by birdhouses nailed to tree trunks and a children's play structure. The setting creates the feel of being surrounded by a forest while remaining right in the city, offering leafy spots to picnic, sit on a bench, or play in the water before leading back out into the neighborhood.
