Addys playground

Tucked into one of Mount Vernon’s quieter stretches, this little neighborhood spot does exactly what a local playground should — gives kids a place to get outside without having to drive across town. It’s low-key, which honestly makes it feel more like a backyard than a public park. The wheelchair accessibility is a real plus, meaning it’s not just an afterthought for families who need it. If you’re in the area and just want somewhere calm and close to home, this one fits the bill.
