Bud Hammer Playground

Honestly, Bud Hammer is one of those spots that flies under the radar, which is kind of the point — it’s a low-key neighborhood park where local families actually know each other’s names. The basketball court gets solid use, and there’s a real community feel here that bigger parks just don’t have. It’s going through some renovations right now, so catch it on the right day and things might look a little rough around the edges. Once the work wraps up, this place has real potential to be a go-to for the 2-8 crowd in the area.
