Another insider secret. This park is small but a great destination for a quick walk. On block over at the end of Edgewood Ave there is probably the best swing in the history of swings under a large old oak tree. Our daughter calls it THE BIG SWING and it is quite possible her favorite place. A great pit stop walking to or from dinner with the kids.
