Howard Playground

Tucked next to public housing buildings, this spot features a playground with swings and chess tables. While the grounds are clean and free of broken glass, visitors note a tough neighborhood dynamic. Younger children may encounter rougher play or groups of teenagers, and adults sometimes smoke near the chess tables, making keeping a close eye on kids a necessity. For locals, it remains a direct, no-frills space to sit, eat, or play a casual game of baseball.
