Former Whitaker Middle School

Left undeveloped beside Fernhill Park, the former Whitaker Middle School grounds function as an expansive, low-key community space. The property is entirely unfenced, accommodating casual bike rides, picnics, and room to run dogs across the grass. The site has no paved paths, leaving visitors to cross open ground to reach the well-maintained track, which provides an unusually soft surface for daily laps. Beside the fields, the unused school building still stands, giving the parcel an unadorned, unvarnished neighborhood feel.
