Seward Park

As the country's first municipal playground, Seward Park balances serious history with everyday ease. Sports courts, a splash pad, and a free table tennis setup sit among mature trees that cast a ton of shade. Reviewers describe the park as calm and a solid spot to bring kids, with plenty of benches and picnic tables for keeping an eye on them while relaxing. One visitor called it an acquired taste, but families seem to find their rhythm here.
