Description

This pocket-sized spot near the BQE is basic to a fault. Visitors looking to sit or snack will find no tables whatsoever, and the play equipment is notably rusty. While there is room to run around, families with older children should note that the park lacks regular swings for kids over four. It is an unvarnished corner of the neighborhood that serves a highly localized, functional purpose.
