Edwards Park

This is one of those low-key neighborhood spots that locals actually love precisely because it doesn’t get overrun. The bike track and walking path make it a solid pick if you’ve got little ones just figuring out their wheels, and the open grass field gives toddlers plenty of room to just run it out. Bring your own food — the BBQ area and picnic tables are set up for a proper cookout, not just a quick snack. The playground skews young, so it’s best suited for the baby-and-toddler crowd rather than older kids. Parking’s easy, the neighborhood is quiet, and honestly it’s the kind of park you’d keep to yourself if you could.
