3 1/2 Street Park

It’s a small one, but for families in this part of Hopewell it does the job. A couple of slides keep the younger kids happy, and the shade trees actually make a difference on a hot afternoon — you’re not just baking on a bench while they play. The open grass field gives older kids room to run around without much structure, which some families prefer. Don’t come expecting a ton of amenities, but the park stays clean and the neighborhood is quiet enough that you’re not dealing with crowds.
