When I look for a park, there are a few things that are important to me: trees, places to sit, bathrooms, playground, open field, bathrooms. Evergreen Park has it all! And even a volleyball court to boot! Did I mention bathrooms?
This park has plenty of large, mature trees-the crunchy falls leaves all around them made it feel like I was walking through a movie set. Who doesn't love the smell of fall leaves? There is a good amount of open space for running around-and a modest hill that I'm sure hosts some young sledders in the winter. That's my kind of sledding!
If you're hosting a party or a picnic, there is a nice pavilion available. A decent sized playground area will keep the kids entertained and the gender neutral bathrooms are much appreciated! Up for a game of volleyball? Sure, you can do that too!
Of all the great features of this park, my favorite is the Free Little Library up at the top of the hill. Not technically a part of the park, but I'm gonna include it anyway. Take a book, leave a book. Sit under a beautiful tree and read. I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon. read more
