O’Connor Park

This is one of our neighborhood parks (it’s only about a 5 min walk away), and even though a park opened this year directly across the st from us, I often still take my kiddos to O’Connor Park.
The park has a nice layout, with a good amount of grassy space. There are cute tables with checkerboards in them (sometimes occupied by more questionable people, but not often and usually not for a long period of time).
My favorite aspect of the park is the kid’s playground; the one geared for kiddos 2 – 5 yrs old is pretty massive an has great shade in the morning (a HUGE plus in my opinion). My favorite thing to do on a non-​work day is walk to the Starbucks nearby, then stop at this playground and play with my kiddos/​enjoy coffee while watching them (the structure is pretty safe and easy for even my 2 ½ yr old to navigate).
There is a playground for older kiddos, but it seems a little older and less appealing to the older kiddos that I’ve seen there (but this might be simply because they prefer the grassy park space!).
