Gordon Playground

Locals know this one doesn’t get overrun on weekends, which is half the reason it’s worth the visit. The playground is on the smaller side — slides, swings, a sandbox — but it’s well-suited to the 2–10 crowd and doesn’t feel chaotic like some of the bigger parks in the area. Tennis courts on site mean parents with older kids can actually get a hit in while the little ones play. Honestly, it’s one of those spots that just works.
