Playground

The Nicholtown Community Center spot on Nichol St is one of those low-key finds that locals seem to keep to themselves. You’ve got the Fernwood Nature Trail right there, so you can let the kids burn energy and still squeeze in a decent walk without loading everyone back in the car. It’s quiet, shaded by the surrounding tree cover, and has that unhurried feel you don’t always get at the bigger parks across town. Good option if you want fresh air without the crowds.
