Ellenberger Park North Playground

This spot on the north end of Ellenberger Park doesn’t get as much attention as it probably deserves. It’s a solid community playground in a genuinely quiet stretch of the neighborhood — the kind of place where you can actually hear your kids playing without traffic noise drowning everything out. Parking is right there, which sounds like a small thing until you’ve circled a crowded lot three times with a carful of restless kids. Good for all ages, and it draws a pretty local crowd, which keeps it feeling like it actually belongs to the neighborhood rather than just sitting in it.
