Playground

Locals know this spot gets used hard on weekends, and for good reason — you’ve got a solid basketball court, a BBQ area, and picnic tables that actually work well for bigger groups. It’s the kind of place where a family cookout and a pickup game can happen at the same time without anyone getting in each other’s way. Good for all ages, which you don’t always find in one place. If you’re planning a casual get-together in Verona, this one’s worth putting on the shortlist.
