Hawthorne Park Forest Hills
A small, residents-only park with mature trees and no benches. It’s criss-crossed by a pair of sidewalks and the rest is meant to be grass, but lately is mostly dirt. It was originally designed to be flooded to make an ice rink in winters and it’s still prone to flooding in heavy rains.
Ellsworth Park
The recently renovated playground is fantastic with a good variety of brightly colored play equipment. The rest of the park is beautiful as well with winding brick walkways and lots of trees and flowers.
However, the new policy of not allowing ANY food or drink seems unrealistic and takes away from our ability to fully enjoy the park. Also, I've had park attendants come up to me gesturing wildly and speaking in Spanish to admonish me on more than one ocassion. I don't understand what they are saying, but I gather they do not approve of my parenting style. Though I can appreciate the deligence, I find them offensive.
