Ray Leisure Park

Locals know Ray Leisure Park as one of the better-kept spots in the city — it doesn’t get as much attention as some of the bigger parks, but that’s honestly part of the appeal. The shade trees actually do their job here, and the seating areas mean parents aren’t just standing around squinting in the sun. There are separate zones broken out by age, so little ones aren’t getting bulldozed by older kids, and the swings are a reliable hit. Street parking is easy enough, and the whole place stays pretty clean for a city park.
