Avondale Park Playground

Sinnamon Park locals know this one well — it’s the kind of spot where you can fire up the BBQ, let the kids run loose on the open grass, and actually have a decent afternoon without driving far. The playground suits the 3 to 10 crowd nicely, and there’s a basketball half-court that gets a solid workout on weekends. Shade trees do a reasonable job of keeping things bearable through summer, which you’ll appreciate if you’re planning a long session. The walking path is a good one for a post-lunch lap while the little ones burn off energy.
