Szafraniec Park

The new playground here is legit — families from across the neighborhood have been showing up since it went in, and it’s easy to see why. You’ve got a basketball half-court, a solid soccer field, and enough open grass to run a pickup football game without anyone getting in each other’s way. There’s also a mural that gives the whole place a little character, the kind of thing that makes it feel like the community actually gives a damn about this spot. Free parking right there makes it a no-brainer if you’re loading up the car with kids and gear.
