Emerson Park

Basketball and tennis courts here as well as swings that
are a little higher up and great for older people or taller kids. The
sand can get dirty but is for the most part pretty clean. Lots of
benches and more trash cans than any other park I can think of (which
gives people no excuse to be tossing their crap on the floor). They
have picnic tables here in this small park and it’s great to bring a
lunch with your kids during the summer or lay down on one of the
benches with your coffee cup. It’s a smaller park and off of two
side streets so it’s quiet for the most part. People like to take walks
through the park and for younger kids there’s a great big tube slide
and a slide that corkscrews down. For kids of any age there’s two tire
swings which are fantastically fun to get dizzy off of. I’m pretty old
now and I have yet to break it mid flight and go flying into a pole on
a tire, so I’m vouching for the sturdiness.
