West Lawn playground

If you live in West Lawn, this little park is one of those spots you end up at more than you’d expect. The slides and swings are the main draw, and they’re actually well-maintained — nothing rusty or sketchy. There’s fencing along the street side which makes a real difference if you’ve got kids who don’t quite understand traffic yet. Pack a lunch because the picnic tables get good shade, and the paved sections mean scooters and skates are totally doable. It’s quiet, it’s clean, and honestly that’s more than enough.
