Just nice to sit solo enjoying a hot mocha as the sun sets. Parklet or plaza is located on Greenwood Ave, on Metro Route 5, between the public library and Valhalla Sandwiches. Alice Ball Park offers perimeter seating with patch of grass, nice garden beds, and tiny nature trail. No playground, but a nice neighborhood open space. Nothing creepy, no litter, no grafitti. Just a toy truck left behind and a Jump bike to rent. Quite the pleasant transformation.

There's no dedicated parking lot but there's street parking along the park exterior. There is a play structure, basketball hoop, tennis court, and a large grassy area surrounded by tables and benches. It was very quiet and peaceful walking around the playground. It is a really nice park!

Then again, I've never been after 2 PM or on a weekend, so maybe it is an issue during peak usage. I love the old timey quotes from people remembering the Interurban trolley (train? some bygone mass transit) and bench / metal statue commemorating it. Lots of pretty planters, a p-patch to explore on the upper level, and WIDE spaces for such a small-ish park. Lots of grass for pooches to run around, a great sand pit with tons of toys to borrow, couple swings and unique and new-fangled climbing equipment. They also have a more traditional area with your twisty slides, fireman pole, etc. This park also boasts a few picnic tables and lots of seating around the concrete planters and steps, so great picnic spot. Keep in mind there isn't any shade, though. Has restrooms and a water fountain.

I competed and practiced at Twin Ponds Park when I was growing up for soccer, back when the soccer…read morefield was made of dirt. The dirt field was fun as it allowed us to adapt our soccer skills to different natural conditions (standing water on a dirt field, inches thick mud, loose dirt, and dirt hard as pavement because it froze in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather after a rain). The times the dirt froze helped up become more conscientious runners on the field, especially in regards to how we would run so our feet would not catch on the frozen dirt. Aside from the soccer field, there is grass area to warm up, walk around, or take a picnic. A trail system winds around the two ponds. On my visit today, Wednesday 26 July 2023, I saw geese, ducks, a great blue heron, a few small blue dragonflies, and gray squirrels. The restroom building had running water and soap. Parking was abundant as it was quiet, on days we had soccer games it could fill up quickly.

Now because there's a pond or lake next to the field there's a great possibility of losing your $150 soccer ball when it flys into the lake. Come on the least you could do is put up nets to avoid ball loss or drowning. On a positive note there nice new field turf down on the ground. Fake grass is amazing to play on. Also a short distance away is Jerseys Sports Bar for after game nacho's & beers.
