James Forten Playground

The park’s generous footprint gives kids ample room to run off energy, though a loose collection of community-shared plastic toys often proves more alluring than the built play structures. On warm days, an on-demand push button lets visitors activate the water sprinklers as needed, conserving water when the spray pad is quiet. The site serves as a lively neighborhood hub where children test motor skills and play together, backed by the practical addition of on-site restrooms.
